Effects of faction leader stats on other FM

[armygroupdf]

I'm wondering what the global effects are of the Command, Management and Influence stats of the faction leader are. I've read somewhere that if it's 6 or more then you get a global bonus while being 5 or less you get no bonus or penalty. But I've also read in the readme that the global effects for Command are only for barbarian factions. So in my current Macedonian campaign that would not be the case.

So should I try to find a good manager instead of a good general or all-rounder to become faction leader?

Also, are these effects really global or does it 'just' effects the characters of family members?

I'm playing a very nice Macedonian (H/H) campaign at the moment while reading Robin Lane Fox's bio of Alexander. I'm hoping do it all over again. Sadly Alexander sits in Bactria while I have just 'united' Greece and need to fend off some Thracians before crossing into Asia Minor.

well AFAIK management is the most important aspect of a FL because it's related to the money you lose each turn to corruption.

Also there are some specific traits or vices that affect all your FM's and generals. so take them into consideration.
Don't make a Corrupt FM, FH just because he has high management.

I see. But that only management is important, is only at stake with civilized factions? Meaning that with Barbarian factions the command stars of the FL does have global effects?

All three main attribute have their factionwide effects but Command attribute give factionwide effect to barbarian only.

Command: factionwide general(except captain)'s troopmorale effect (barbarian only)
Management: factionwide general(except captian)'s corruption effect
Influence: factionwide general(except captian)'s bribe cost and loyalty effect

[armygroupdf]

To make things clear: only with barbarian factions, does the command stars give bonuses to family members? And command stars of a faction leader of a civilized faction don't matter for the faction?

[Suppanut]

Yes.
