Corruption

**Nazgûl Killer** · May 23, 2009, 07:36 AM

I have noticed that corruption goes both ways, good and bad, and in my latest campaign (England), I had 166 good corruption (Income) and 1166 bad corruption (expense), so I was wondering, any way to lower/raise any of those two?

You get money from the corruption?

You may notice a small bit there that says "corruption and other".

What exactly comprises the "and other", I'm not sure. For one, I'd like to assume that blockading enemy ports is part of it.

Well to lower the expenditure of corruption get your family members out off their lazy arses and give them dirt and mud in a battlefield. The reason they have so much corrpution is because family members are becoming corrupt from the fancy lifestyles they are having so either put them in a castle or a

place and have them fight so they will lose some corruption and become an average guy again.

Yea, I think that the income from corruption and other is from blockading. I think that when the council gives you a mission to blockade a port, the reasons are to hurt the enemies income and to 'fill our own coffers'.

No I think it says ruin their coffers.

You'll also might get some money out of it yourself, since those traderoutes might be redirected to your own ports, which would generate income. When you unblock the ports, those traderoutes will most likely return to the original port, and not your own.

The thing is though I never block their ports I find it a waste of time but I still get an income so I don't think it is that.

And diplomacy is importent to,when you make a deal about you give 2300 mony to a other faction that will to count ass Corupption and other,and if one or more of your generals is corrupted in his retinue or trait then that will come to cost you some money.

Actually, the diplomacy part is counted in the "Diplomacy and Tributes", and I started moving my family members around, and gave up, I have over 25, so it's really quite pointless to have 25 (usesless) generals out there, when I can have 4 main armies with 1 - 2 generals each, which are all godlike.
