When such a challenge occurs all existing generals and admirals in the opposition party will defect – along with their forces – into a newly formed enemy faction, whose sole purpose is to defeat you in the ensuing civil war. On the other hand, a player who is politically active will be able to maintain stability for as long as possible, increasing the amount of time before a challenge is made to their leadership. However, in the long term, inaction will likely result in certain parties gaining or losing influence excessively without you knowing. There is no single approach political non-involvement (in other words, letting the situation unfold on its own while concentrating on civil and military matters) is not necessarily a bad thing, at least in the short term.
This includes military and civil choices that might not seem directly political, such as which generals to appoint, which skills or ancillaries to upgrade them with, and even the order in which technologies are researched. The choices you make during the course of your campaign affect the influence that each party possesses. As a general rule, too much or too little influence held by any one party, whether ruling or not, will always equate to political imbalance, potentially causing insurrection. Ultimately, balance is the key – your goal is to maintain inner stability, ensuring that no single party dominates the political arena. You can interact with any character involved in politics on the faction summary tab by adopting them, bribing them, marrying them to a daughter of your party, spreading reputation-damaging rumours about them, or having them assassinated.īy carefully managing characters of political importance and engaging in the various political actions available to you, it is possible to control the flow of power between the parties within your faction. However, ambition is a double-edged sword: high ambition can lead to a bid for power through civil war, so it is important to keep an eye on such characters, they are not necessarily to be trusted. The more ambitious a character is, the more useful they are likely to be to your faction.
Many characters in your campaign contribute gravitas to your party's overall influence within your faction. Your faction leader is the head of that party. When you selected a faction, you also chose a family or party to represent within its political system.
