I wonder if there is some exception to this. Particularly, you'd think the Faction Leader would be Govenor of his Capital city, despite the qualifications of anyone else.If there is another general in there that has a higher management rating, that general remains/becomes governer.
Better? For whom, and in what way? It wasn't better, but it did make it EASIER for those who prefer it that way. It really didn't make much sense for a *Peasant* to be a Govenor, now did it?IMO, it was better in MTW, where you could physically assign a particular unit, general or not, to be a province's governor.
One the Tenents of the *Hardcore Rules* was that ONLY Knights could be Govenors, and for even added difficulty, ONLY Knights which were relatives of the King could be Govenors (relatations my Marriage was OK).
Yet, I agree, a *qualified* Unit shouldn't AUTOMATICALLY become Govenor simply because it has a higher Management rating. The Player should have the option/responsibility to Choose which (qualified) Unit he prefers to be Govenor.
In my Campaign, I'm just now beginning to experiment with Govenorships.
Well, this is not entirely the case, as the father the distance between a Govenor and his Province, the LESS his *Influence*. So, there was a penalty for the absence of a Govenor. It's just that with RTW, the penalty is IMMEDIATE, and a bit more severe.I always thought it was silly in MTW how you could assign a govener of a province, and then he didnt have to be around AT ALL to govern that province.
Realistic? Nahh, does the Country go to hell simply because the President is out of State, abroad? Nope. I doubt it wall all that different in ancient times. Underlings continued to implement the Govenor's policies in his absence.
But, yes, it does make for more challenging(, and more interesting) Gameplay, and that's what it should be all about.
Hmmmm.....However in the later stages of the game youll probably end up with more family members than cities anyway, I've got about 30 of the buggers now, and you realise that captians can be adopted to family members after winning battles right? Send captians to clear out all those annoying brigands that keep popping up and you'll have the biggest family in no time.
