Leader Trait Icons

Let's discuss leader traits and icons.

 

Remember back when the Leaders only had "game-impacting" traits?

But somewhere along the lines, somebody thought it would be cool to add all these "background" traits.

And then somebody thought it would be even more cool to not use any standard color or icon coding for these "background" traits.

Honestly, 90% of the time I do not care about rather 'they were chased by wolves as a child' - or - 'their mom beat them for not finishing their spinach' - or - 'they are grammar fanatics' ....

The ones I care about are the ones that actually impact the game.

This is an example Leader who:

- Discovered an ancient alien library....

- Raised by squatters....

- Grooms themselves to look like a dead friend....

seriously?

Honestly, I would just as well have those removed.

But if you insist on keeping, then at least color-code them or something so players do not have to spend time and mouse over each and every one throughout the entire game when you are looking for a Leader with a meaningful skill to assign!
