Switching governors?

[Lacker]

So I appointed a 4 accumen general as governor of Constantine, and the next year a General of a Chivalric Knight unit was created with 6 accumen and smacking of loyalty. So I want to appoint him as governor of my wealthiest province.

I know emisaries do this, but my question is what are the reprecussions of stripping someone of their title. The current governor is a good General (6stars) and very loyal. He is leading my largest army in it's treck across Lower russia. Can I swap the province w/o impacting his other traits?

Thanks

Yes V&Vs shouldnt be effected by governor swaps, but IIRC Constantinople has +2/+3 loyalty so the existing governor may have quite a drop - but if he is good just make him governor of some other place

He will have a loyalty drop, I'm afraid. No way around it. however, if you're lucky, he won't get a bad vice from it. Or a secret one.

With enough influence, there shouldn't be much of a problem. If you avoid any large governor changes when you get a new king, instead waiting until influence is up around 6 or higher, then it should be okay. Of course, if you've got a daughter to marry him into the family, that's a sure bet to get him to like you as well. But I think loyalty is the main thing affected by stripping a general of his titles.

Just remember, after you strip the title, your 6 star general will only be a 4 star general, since 2 of those command points are granted by the title of governor of Constantinople.

lol...

How do you fire someone from a high paying job gently????

I dunno, I figure I'll just tell him I think Constantinople is going "in a different direction", and then remind him that I'm his soverign lord and if he has a problem with it I'll tip my hand and send him to command a rabble of peasants protecting Wallachia from the Horde
