OK, but before making any changes, those configuration
parameters would have to be decided.  Should, for
example, militarism be a boolean, or should it be on
some scale e.g. 1-100? 

Once there is that framework, the behaviors for
'militarism', or other traits, could be added
gradually as conditionals in the main AI code.
