How do I get the AI to accept Ward's Martial Drill?
The AI weighs it (the answer is partly random). Its reasons: … Opinion of …, You have Groomed to Rule +20, We have Traits in common, We have opposite Traits, Has Martial Skill, Has Prowess Skill, Personal Champion +10, The recipient has compatible Childhood Trait +15, The recipient has incompatible Childhood Trait -15, Intimidated by you, Terrified of you and The recipient already has Commander Traits -50.
