Make sure he's centrally located in your empire. Build more happiness stuff.

Does sending my king into battle really have that much influence on the folks back home?

**Roark** · 01-27-2006, 00:40

No. It's only a problem when he's separated from his empire.

You may well be the victim of spy flooding. Are you at peace with Byzantium? Coz that's usually when they send in the clowns...

How is the religious situation in your empire?

Religion wise I'm fine I've always made sure the population are converted over. The Byz have one island Rhodes I think, they are neutral but when has that ever stopped them.

I think my King attacking could be the problem, he is leading an attack in Sweden at the moment.

Well send him back to teach those little revolting peasants how to fingerpaint... and use soap. Then they'll be less revolting.

First of all, nice pun there Yoyoma

Back to topic, does having the king on the edge of your empire create negative effects, like "area of affect" or someting?

Yes, the loalty effeckt the king gives diminishes with distance (aka the number of provinces you'll need to pass through to get to that province, starting from the kings province), but as long the king is in a costal province with a port it usually doesn't matter.

But this is the reason why some provinces in the middle of HRE (especially Switzerland) have a loyalty problem despite that all of them doesn't got an extra rebellious status from the gamefiles. Only a problem when your empire is big though.

Yes, one of the bugs in MTW.

Save the then attack with your king. See all those nice rebels. Then reload and attack without your king. Nothing. You'll only see this if you got a large empire though.
