Divorce also has a large negative effect on your parties influence.There are also missions, ill cover more in depth later but successful missions give + gravitas to your statesmen.Īs mentioned, the gravitas is the main way to increase influence, but there are several other ways too.Īdopt/Bribe are basically the same thing.

If you propose a marriage to another political party, it has the effect of increasing their influence, thus i never use the marriage/divorce options. Wives are basically just another household trait, if they have terrible traits you can divorce and remarry. Household traits are better, make sure you keep them up to date, they can give good boosts to armies and public order among other things. I've never paid any attention to them really, in my opinion they arent significant enough to control. Your characters will develop traits as he progresses, these can be both good and bad. The only negative of securing promotions for your characters is the -loyalty which we will discuss later. Can hover the mouse over the secure promotion button and it will detail the associated perks and requirements. As rank increases it increases the amount of idle gravitas the character receives as well as other perks such as -upkeep costs for their army (if they have one). Secure Promotion gives them higher ranks in office. No point starting to built gravitas on a general who's 60 for example.Īs your character gains more exp (levels) and gets older they will be qualified for promotions.

Also watch age, if you're playing GC without turn per year mods then generals will die pretty quickly. You don't want to build the other party characters gravitas if possible. Candidates are not integrated in the political system at all until you recruit them, and if you do it will make you lose a bit of influence and money, but it may still be favourable than using other party's characters. While we are on the topic of recruiting generals, when you are on the general selection tab you will see statesmen and candidates. (You can change general of an army by going General details -> Replace if you did not know). Therefore change which generals get action and try and get a few generals some action. It's not a good idea to 'put all your eggs into one basket', as if that character dies you'll take a much larger hit on your parties influence. I believe the amount of gravitas earned is also influenced by what type of victories you achieve (heroic, phyrric, etc). As mentioned, the main method of increase gravitas is through battles and conquering provinces.
