Strategy[]
Charismatic is a trait of many uses, and has synergy with most other traits. While by face value it's a war trait (cheap experience means units get stronger faster, and more happiness deals with war weariness), the happiness in peace-time helps your cities grow bigger - potentially 2 more population in many cities. A builder could use the trait to build large cities, switch to war traits, produce heavily-promoted defending units and switch back to peaceful traits to ensure a good defense.
