is 10 the most skill you can get?
10 stars, 10 management, 10 influence, 10 subterfuge...
like for example, say my general is a 10 star general and is also an infantry commander of genius or something along those lines... does that mean the infantry effectively get more than the 10 star boost?
10 of anything is the max.
not of denarii
..or soldiers
As for the original question I`m not sure, maybe, it wouldn`t come as a surprise if it did.
But what if you have a ten star general who also has a 'good attacker' trait? In the battle map does it count as 12 stars when you attack?
though it's not like it matters that much...
I assume 10 is the limit in RTW, although for Barbarian Invasion, plans were afoot to make your general gain special powers for every star above level 10, with fiery glowing armour and staffs that launch fireballs at the enemy being yours to unlease on the unsuspecting enemy. Additional special powers were to be obtained by collecting the rings that enemies drop when killed, with 100 giving your general an extra life should he perish on some dastardly spike trap. Allegedly anyway.
ahh...
god bless the mighty continue should you not collect enough rings...
I think that is definitely straying into fantasy.Quote:

As far as influence 8 is the max allowed bonus for happiness and 9 and 10 only become a factor for senatorial offices/faction heir selection or the rare case a diplomat walks up to him and negotiates.
i've always wondered how influence affects diplomacy? will a 10 laurel diplomat get me protectorates easier and be able to ask for more money for map info? likewise, does enemy influence lower the price i could get from selling map info?
AFAIK influence of diplomats is a skill good for two things:
(1) it decreases the diplomat's chance of falling victim to assassination.
(2) as for negotiations, it only comes into effect when negotiating amounts of denarii to be paid/received. The higher the diplomat's influence, the more likely it is for the trade partner to accept a money-based offer like map-selling (thus it counts as a kind of "bargain" skill).
