authority bonus

[Otsman]

i'm playing as the Ghorids, and my Sultan Muhammud the godfearer just got his 11th authority point.

no idea how it happened, must be a bug, and yes i counted right.

[Thema'zandaar]

Shhhhhhhhh!!

This is a good thing!

If you went through and counted all the +Authority from traits...

1. It's possible to have >10, although it will only show 10 for the pips.

2. All above 10 don't count for game puproses, consider them a cushion in case your FL goes crazy or something.

3. You fail. You need a hobby.

[Otsman]

wait, i failed for counting from 1-11 (i didn't count from the traits, it shows 11little authority icons under his name)

Post some images.

what does exactly authority affect and in which way?

[Miltiades the Younger]

screenshot plz

[Otsman]

how do you post a screen anyway, and i don't think it matters because 1 turn after he got the extra authority point he lost all authority for being a shiite, and then i got a CTD.

so it is a bug

[Aurion]

Post it in the bug reports.

[Otsman]

already did

Why do you guys demand screenshots?? I've encountered this so many times I thought it's such a common bug and people knew about it.

I even had a Seljuk faction leader who has 11 authority points, and then for some unknown reason it got reset to 0!! (He was an over achiever with unenviable traits like wife cheating on him, being other's laughing stock, and is even nicknamed .... the cuckold!)

Why do you guys demand screenshots??

Because it validates...I could say man, why do my horsarii carry flaming chickens instead of lances...you see. That's all.

Exactly

[iksterminator]

what about my question, can anybody help to explain me what is authority helping in exactly? or maybe give me a link to where it's explained?
Thanks in advance

authoroty is helping against rioting population,it makes your generals more loyal and the soldiers obey direct comands very well

[Aurion]

Authority directly affects how likely your armies are to rebel.

It may have some effect on diplomacy as well, but I have yet to actually test that out.

As far as rebelling armies go, you're usually safe if your Leader's Authority + General's Loyalty is greater than 10. There's an element of chance, obviously, but beyond that point you normally shouldn't worry too much.

[Thema'zandaar]

I believe that authority also influences how happy the towns and cities are. The most direct effect that I've seen with authority is supposedly with regard to a captain of yours rebelling - although I have a 6 authority leader and a certain captain still went and rebelled.

its no bug lol those traits are gained every turn read every trait&anchillary (wrong spelled) there are no bugs

i can't load the game because i always CTD, but there was an 11th, slightly cut off authority icon where it shows his command, piety and chivalry.

IT WAS NOT IN THE TRAITS AND DESCRIPTIONS PART NEAR THE BOTTOM, IT WAS AN EXTRA ICON UNDER HIS NAME.

Pics or it didn't happen.
