The best ruling traits in Elder Scrolls Castles
Instead of knowing how every trait translates from a subject trait to a ruling trait in Elder Scrolls Castles, you may simplywant to know the best.
Note that these are generally what I see as the best traits for a ruler to have. However, some castles and players may prefer specific traits for a certain angle that they’re aiming for. If you simply want astrong general ruler, then you can’t go wrong with the following five traits.
The Enduring traitallows rulers to live for longer. This allows you to access bonuses and decorations exclusive to rulers with a longer reign. Also, it menas any good traits you have with the ruler are in effect for longer.
Considerate
The Considerate traitincreases productivity in the Kitchen and Loom. Food already depletes rather quickly and the more subjects you have the quicker it goes. Keeping on top of your food levels is important, especially if your Orders demand some.
The Mighty traitincreases productivity in the Oil Press and Smithy. As your castle demands more and more Oil, a bonus in Oil production will mean you’re never behind. At least hungry subjects can work, whereas an Oil deficit makes every station stop working.
Enviousincreases the material gains you get from rulings, however, your subjects can’t be happier than the ruler. The thing is, if you have a happy ruler, you’re going to have happy people, meaning this trait will only boost your ruling gains.
The Jester traitprovides extra happiness from positive rulings. Always having a net positive of happiness even during rulings that upset others will mean that mixed ruling outcomes will now still increase the average happiness.
you may get a noble with these five traits by breeding nobles together with these traits to try andmake a baby harboring all five. It’s a lot of effort but will be worth it.
