A new trait for the admirals
After one year break in modding the traits, I've come back to the EDCT and added one trait for the admirals. It actually limits the initial range of the ships, but it can be adjusted if found to be too restrictive.
Descriptions:

Code:{MARITIME__EVENTS_SECTION_BODY}---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {MARITIME__EVENTS_SECTION_TITLE} Technical line for easier editing of the section MARITIME EVENTS {ROLES_D_OLERON_BODY}\nThe first legal act in the Latin West introducing formal rules into the maritime sphere were the Rôles d'Oléron. They were promulgated by Eleanor of Aquitaine in ca. 1160, after her return from the second crusade. They were based upon the ancient Lex Rhodia, which had governed Mediterranean commerce since the first century BC. These were subsequently adopted by the Eastern Roman Empire as "Nomos Rhodion nautikos", and by the Latins in Levant as the Maritime Assizes of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. In France, they were named for the island of Oléron since the island was the site of the maritime court.\n\nGAME STRATEGY: ports of the North European factions provide now more trade income. {ROLES_D_OLERON_TITLE}Rôles d'Oléron {FIRST_RUDDER_BODY}\n\nArabic sailors have successfully adopted an old seafaring trick from the Far East, using a plate of wood called a 'rudder' at the rear of a ship to change its path through the water. \n\nSome outlandish notions are being raised by some of the more eccentric military strategists that suggest that wars will one day be waged at sea, and that the rudder is a vital step toward their vision being realised.\n\nGAME STRATEGY: ports of the Muslim factions provide now more trade income. {FIRST_RUDDER_TITLE}Seafaring Innovation {SEA1_USE_OF_MAPS_BODY}\n\nFor the bigger part of the Middle Ages the practical use of maps was very limited. However, it is widely thought that the maps were already in use during the time of crusades to the Holy Land in 12-13th century. This knowledge would have already been known to the Muslims and the Byzantines before. Admitedly, the first information a use of a maritime map (a portolana chart) is related to only the 8th crusade of the Louis VII, King of France, in 1271.\n\nGAME STRATEGY: The ships of Mediterranean factions will have an increased range. {SEA1_USE_OF_MAPS_TITLE}Use of maritime maps {CARTA_PISANA_BODY}The Carta Pisana, found in Pisa and believed to have been made near the end of the 13th century, is a map of the coasts of the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Northern Atlantic. It is the oldest surviving nautical chart (that is, not simply a map, but a document showing accurate navigational directions). The Carta Pisana is what is known as a "portolan chart", as it includes detailed surveys of the coasts, and many ports, but bears no indication of the topography or toponymy inland.\n\nFor the bigger part of the Middle Ages the practical use of maps is thought to be very limited. The first information of practical use of a portolana chart is related to the 8th crusade in 1271.\n\nGAME STRATEGY: The ports for the South European factions will provide more trade benefits. {CARTA_PISANA_TITLE}Portolana Charts {HANSEATIC__EVENTS_SECTION_BODY}---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {HANSEATIC__EVENTS_SECTION_TITLE} Technical line for easier editing of the section HANSEATIC EVENTS {HANSEATIC_LEAGUE_BODY}\n\nGerman, Saxon, and Slavic merchants from the recently founded cities in Northern Germany and the Baltic region are known for peddling goods from the east (as far as Novgorod) and west (to Cologne and other cities on the Rhein, and even to London). However, trading in these times is a dangerous and risky business, and the only way for merchants to protect themselves is by traveling together. This banding together on the road has led some to consider alliances for when they are at home as well. \n\nGAME STRATEGY: From now on, towns in the Baltic and North Sea regions that historically had trade links to the Slavic and Finnic world in the East, can build an establishment "Baltic Trade". It initially provides some trade benefits but will be complemented with the growth bonus after the event related to the German settlers movement into central Europe (the Ostsiedlung). This building will thus add to the trade income of the faction but also will help those usually agriculturaly weak provinces to increase the number of their citizens. {HANSEATIC_LEAGUE_TITLE}Hanseatic League {HANSEATIC_LEAGUE_EXPANDS_BODY}\n\nIn 1241, Lübeck, which had access to the Baltic and North Seas' fishing grounds, formed an alliance with Hamburg, another trading city, that controlled access to salt-trade routes from Lüneburg. The allied cities gained control over most of the salt-fish trade, especially the Scania Market. Cologne then joined them in the Diet of 1260. In 1266, Henry III of England granted the Lübeck and Hamburg Hansa a charter for operations in England, and the Cologne Hansa joined them in 1282 to form the most powerful Hanseatic colony in London. \n\nGAME STRATEGY: Hanseatic buildings will provide more trade bonuses. The recruitment of units will also improve, either through access to new units, or through faster regeneration of the recruitment pools. {HANSEATIC_LEAGUE_EXPANDS_TITLE}Hanseatic cities intensify cooperation {HANSEATIC_LUBECK_BODY}\n\nIn 13th century, the merchants from Lübeck who had access to the Baltic and North Seas' fishing grounds and also controlled access to salt-trade routes from Lüneburg, had gained the ascendancy in the Baltic trade. \n\nGAME STRATEGY: A unique building, the Holsteintor, can be now build in Lübeck. This, in turn, will allow for new buildings for the Hanseatic cities. The recruitment of units will also improve. {HANSEATIC_LUBECK_TITLE}Lübeck Ascendancy {HANSEATIC_WARS_BODY}\n\nIn the second part of 13th century, Lübeck and other Hanseatic cities started waging common wars. The strategies were being agreed at the Hanseatic Diets. The growing power of the merchants allowed them to negotiate lucrative deals with the far-away rulers. In particular, in 1266, Henry III of England granted the Lübeck and Hamburg Hansa a charter for operations in England, and the Cologne Hansa joined them in 1282 to form the most powerful Hanseatic colony in London. \n\nGAME STRATEGY: Four Hanseatic Kontors is available to be built in the special cities. The recruitment of units will improve, either through access to new units, or through faster regeneration of the recruitment pools. {HANSEATIC_WARS_TITLE}The Trade Wars of the Hanseatic League {HANSEATIC_COG_BODY}A cog (in German: die Kogge) is a type of ship that first appeared in the 10th century, and was widely used from around the 12th century on. It is clinker-built, generally of oak. These vessels were fitted with a single mast and a square-rigged single sail. They were mostly associated with seagoing trade in north-west medieval Europe, especially the Hanseatic League. Typical seagoing cogs ranged from about 15 to 25 meters in length, with a beam of 5 to 8 meters and were 30–200 tons burthen.\n\nIn 13th century cogs would be decked, and larger vessels would be fitted with a stern castle, to afford more cargo space by keeping the crew and tiller up, out of the way; and to give the helmsman a better view. Also a number of smaller innovations took place what enabled faster and safer travel. \n\nGAME STRATEGY: Ports will provide more trade income for the East European factions. Trade benefits from the Hanseatic buildings will also increase. Setting up of a domination by Lübeck (ie building Holsteintor) is enabled and after it's build a number of further Hanseatic buildings will be available for construction. The ships of the factions from the Northern Europe will have an increased range. {HANSEATIC_COG_TITLE}Die Kogge {HANSEATIC_CONFEDERATION_OF_COLOGNE_BODY}\n\nThe Confederation of Cologne was a medieval military alliance against Denmark signed in 1367 by cities of the Hanseatic League in Cologne. The Treaty regulated the financial aspects of the war and how many ships and crew the participating seagoing cities had to send. \n\nGAME STRATEGY: Hanseatic Guild buildings will provide more growth and trade bonuses. The recruitment of units will improve, either through access to new units, or through faster regeneration of the recruitment pools. {HANSEATIC_CONFEDERATION_OF_COLOGNE_TITLE}Confederation of Cologne
