Obedience

[Myshkin]

To my understanding piete has been replaced by obedience. What does obedience do in game?

[axnsan]

Same thing as piety

[Myshkin]

But there are no inquisitors for good factions. Does it only affect the evil factions?

[OfficerJohn]

Piety never only affected inquisitors.
It doesn't really affect them either...

[Myshkin]

So does obedience do anything in game?

[JuL14n]

Maybe some bonuses with religious converting,
and about inquisitors the more piety someone has, the lesser is the chance for an inquister to kill them.

As long as I know, that's it for now, but as 1. good factions are not affected by inquisitors, and 2. Servants of Sauron killed some of my Mordor generals with real high Obedience, I just can't imagine what is it good for at the moment.

But there are no religions in TWTA...

Yes, I think the dark lord has inquisitors, so it should affect evil factions... but that's my only guess.

Yes you are correct, only evil factions are being affected by inquisitors.

Culture = Religion as far as i know.

[Seleukos_I.]

The higher the obedience of a governor is, the happier the people are and the town will grow faster.

[Myshkin]

I think respect (chivarly or dread) governs city management.

[axnsan]

Culture = Religion as far as i know.

Nope.

[JuL14n]

Yup.

Culture in Third age > Religion in M2TW

If he meant this way.

[axnsan]

Don't make me preach the difference between culture and religion again, please

[axnsan]

Like piety, obedience increases income.

[Myshkin]

Interesting! And what does respect do then? (bonus to happiness?)

Obedience -> Income
Respect -> Happiness?

or is it

Obedience AND Respect -> Income + Happiness?

[axnsan]

Respect (chivalry) - happiness, population growth, troop morale
Fear (dread) - law, decreased enemy troop morale
Loyality - hmm, this is a hard one. What can it be?
Obedience - money

I think Loyalty affects bribery attempts.

Wow...
