Each civilization has two traits (except in scenarios, where this is usually but not always true). In the epic game, the civs have been carefully designed so that every possible combination of traits is held by at least one civ. | Each civilization has two traits (except in scenarios, where this is usually but not always true).

We cannot tell you what are the best or worst traits to have, because everybody is different. Some people may even like "weak" traits because they make the game interesting, or they feel they can really take advantages the trait does offer. There is also no consensus: some experts feel that Commercial is weakest, while others feel it is the strongest! Therefore, what traits are desirable to you must be decided yourself.

While you will experience less corruption throughout the game, the real effects of the trait will not be pronounced until the middle-game, when you also have cities beyond size 6, which will have an extra commerce per turn. Your advantages will be most pronounced at the endgame, where such considerations are very often irrelevant. | ||

Cities will have | Cities will have +1 food. However, in Despotism this only occurs on cities sited directly on rivers. Therefore, agricultural civilizations highly value rivers and will invariably build on them when possible. This can be used by rival civilizations to predict expansion — it is usually wise to build on rivers anyway, but they will have much higher priority for agricultural civs. | ||
