How can i recruit a Governor?

[kostas84]

Hello, i play as Rome, and as a House Rule, im gonna use Family Members(and generals who get a chance to be promoted after a battle) along with a full stack to represent a Roman Legion, however, if i do that, all of my cities will have no governor and ill lose money and Public Order.

How do i recruit a local governor to govern my city while my Family Members fight?

You need a type 4 government to recruit a Client Ruler or Non-FM-General. See here:

Take into account that these recruited generals/governors affect your FM/region ratio as 'real' born family members, so don't recruit too many of them or you won't get new babies...

Not really. I mean, yes, your cities will generally not make as much money and have lower PO than if they did have a Governor, but it's not really a difference between "Rich" and "Breaking Even," it's more a difference between "Building Ships Made of Gold Because You Can" and "Rich." At least, for Homeland and nearby regions.

Note that non-FM Governors are only good for Governing Type IV cities - if you put them in a Type I-III city, they will start racking up PO Penalties. Likewise for sticking FM Governors in Type IV cities.
