View Full Version : Princes as Governors

Now I know that it isn't possible with a normal game, but it is somehow (with modding) possible to be able to assign governer posts and offices to the princes? I'd love to have the feature, really.

Also, does anyone has an idea why CA choose for this way? Maybe because you'd get some awesome 'free' governors if you have great heirs? (let's say, Byz?)

Cheers :balloon2:

I'm pretty sure it's hardcoded, so impossible to do even through modding.

Ai, a shame. It'd add some roleplaying to the game, and I just have to make one of my heirs the Prince of Wales or the King of Scotland..

Thanks for the reply!

I'm afraid you'll have to wait with it until the princes have "grown out" of the royal family. Then, they often make excellent governors indeed.

Indeed. There's a point in giving the uncles some land to keep 'm happy, of course. Just a shame that they can't already get 'm when they're still in the heir-line.

Thanks :bow:

Those uncles can be a real thorn in the side. There seems to be some hardcoded feature (or perhaps my imagination, or the result of circumstances?) whereby if they outnumber a newly crowned and particularly a weak king, they suffer a most catastrophic drop in loyalty. You can have a civil war on your hands rather quickly in such cases (which can be a good thing).

My theory is that a new king would probably have around 4 influence, and if the old king had 7-8, that'd explain the loyalty drop.

Still, the whole 'evil uncle' thing sounds fun!

I have also noticed that the loyalty drop seems to be larger if the new king is substantially younger than the uncles. (i.e. uncles in their late 40s, 50s, new king under 20).

That is so right. And so historical. Would you let your gurgling nephew take the reins of your country when you could take it for yourself, and have proven to be a good general through the years? ~;)
