Who was the best king you had in the game?

[Marshy]

I haven't had that much good kings. Napoleon portrays them as suckish and tyrannical. I don't think Francis I of Austria would have only 4 stars.

George the Third is rubbish... what other possible monarchs can you get as GB?

[♔DoomBunny666♔]

I got William the IV, hes average, but has the Agarian trait...

[marceror]

Napoleon, of course (okay, he's technically an emporer, not a king, but I think you're really referring to the function of faction leader with this thread).

[Marshy]

Yes im referring to Coalition leaders. We all know Napoleon is awesome. But the Coalition leaders tend to suck...

[Lord Forbes Winnterton]

lol George III was a bit bonkers though

[The_Reckoner]

The Austrian leader gets negative prestige per turn as well as negative relations bonuses, I think its Francis who has this, the old sickly looking man you have at the start. Yeah I agree the coalition leaders are all pretty mediocre but than again so were most the leaders in empire as I can recall.

[Marshy]

Ministers are mediocre as well. All of my candidates are 3 stars with no traits. Once in a while I will get a 4 star and with a +1 to management. Which is rare! Back then a lot of people were well educated and good for positions in government.

Agree, that's one of the first things I do as a monarchy is to re-arrange ministers, but in this game there isn't much to tamper with.

Didn't he have insanity by then?

[Marshy]

Ya. After the American Revolution he went coo koo. Such a shame he was such a good king too.

[Jenuensis]

All my kings sucked or were below average.

King george III was beyond horrible. 2 Stars 0_0

[Jihada]

George III had porphyria although that wasn't diagnosed at the time. He died in my game and William IV is king. CA got it wrong anyway because GeorgeIII was often insane at this time and his son George IV (Prince Regent) was really the ruler and was king in 1820-30,then William IV before Victoria.

[Sebastos Abdes Pantera]

The era was more focused on generals than kings. Towards the end of the game, the general with the starting army will usually have full command. Other than that, does anyone know how to make their monarch increase in capability? How about if the goverment keeps on gaining popularity then the ministers and the monarch should get increased skills.

I reckon you need to build a lot of the same type of building and such, like build a hell of a lot of farms and you get the Agarian trait...

[Petrov]

Well Every Tsar, Stalin, King of Russia, or any Russian type of leader as a matyter of fact, is OBVIOUSLY a much Better king/emperor/Dictator Than anyone else

Take That Napoleon!!!!!!

[darthfanta]

What nonsense are you talking about?

[RO Citizen]

Napoleon. But no king changed in my GC so far...
