Slaists guide to RTW 2 politics

[Slaists]

Yup and free generals automatically become statesmen and move to your capital (though they're invisible, save for the mention in the faction window).
I've never checked... do the bonuses to tax rate and trade income and public order these people get, get applied to the capital province if they act as statesmen?

That's a good question. So far, I assumed they do not, but will check further.

The bonuses actually applying in the capital would explain why I see rather big wealth fluctuations in the capital province.
