A number of folks have said that if the king (and princes) are in regions when they complete a farm or mine, they are more likely to get Steward or Trader virtues (respectively). Since I often have farms being built, I prefer to move the king to regions completing a farm, as opposed to re-building the 20% farm at some crappy region over and over.
If I'm going to move him this way, it occurs to me that he might have to move to the target region the turn before the farm will finish - because for other things, it seems like builds are done before moves take place. For example, if you are attacked, the unit being built in that province that turn will appear, even if you lose - apparently it is built before the attack move takes place. Also I just noticed that even a castle upgrade scuessfully finished (whew) the turn a rebellion fought me in that province... it had appeared the turn before, in will fight here next turn status.
Any thoughts?
And for that matter, if anybody can comment on, how much it matters to have your king in provinces making farms or mines? I know they can get the Steward virtue without having to be in a region making a farm - I've seen it before. Does anybody know just how much it helps? Sometimes he might otherwise be a good item to tuck somewhere, lending his good stars in case a border region is attacked.
TIA
