That is a keen distinction many don't seem to understand. It is rare and actually counterproductive for your king or any type of leader to be your strongest normally. Plus what makes a good king is not what makes a good warrior. I don't think that has ever been something they understood.
Thanks for the feedback. I won't say he suddenly becomes a static character. He normally reacts to the crazy situations they encounter. But around 45 he will have a serious change of personality. That is probably what you are asking about.
