Europa Universalis IV - Page 180

Improves warfare dynamics. Coupled with the fact that you can have 4 leaders without upkeep fairly easily ( 25 power projection + feudalism ) varied army compositions become far more viable. The traits are basically just stack specific stat modifiers that better determines what the stack assigned to a leader will be doing.

Some of traits include:
Hardy Warrior: -20% Attrition - Useful for siege stacks or main armies that will be covering a lot of ground through high attrition environments. I bet Napoleon wished he had this.

Siege Specialist: +15% Siege Ability - Amazing for siege stacks, but completely useless for main armies.

+33% Reinforcement Speed - Makes a strong army even harder to kill. Get 33% more of your army back after a huge engagement. I'm interested to see what the best usage for this would be.

Born to the Saddle: +50% Cavalry Flanking Range - This one is interesting. It should help cav fall off less towards lategame. Plus if Poland gets this I'm envisioning Ultralisk like Hussars cleaving through the enemy.

Goal Orientated:+10% Movement Speed - Your enemies will never escape you. Combined with high maneuver you dictate all the positioning.

I hate regencies. This gives you less of them. Plus the events related to consorts help add some character and narrative to the game.

I love these. If you ever want to influence the politics of the world without actually attacking these help. In my current game, I bought out the affection of half the electors to become emperor on a whim.

With the amount of leaders were able to get now I hope Paradox removes leader's ability to instantly teleport between stacks in friendly territory and they're complete inability to do so in enemy territory. I would much rather see a system where leaders can always be reassigned if the army is adjacent to a friendly or occupied province via some sort of redeployment travel time. What do you guys think?
