The Governor Ancillary

[Silius Saurus]

OK, how does it work? I have a Gov. of Sicilia, but need to reassign him and pass it on to somebody else. How do I do that?

[ur-Lord Tedric]

It's a "non-transferable" trait.

You can transfer it, however, but it no longer has the effects. Best choose the Governor, has to be a Senator (and I believe dvk' has changed it so it occurs after a few turns rather than immediately - after I queried same in testing) - and then he has it for life.

Have them in the same stack and just drag the ancillary to yer mans portrait.

Ferdiad,

Yes, it will still move like any others, but in this case the effects don't go with it - that's why it says "NON TRANSFERABLE" in the description.

[Ferdiad]

No idea it said that, haven't played this patch yet.

Much belated thanks for the reply, Tedric.

So If I want someone else to be Governor of a province, he has to be a senator and he gains the ancillary, even if someone else still has the original ancillary?

You're welcome, but no, I'm afraid.

Once you've chosen the Governor (found a Senator, moved him to the settlement, waited 4 turns (a delay so the original conquering General doesn't get it) and gained the ancillary).....

Then you will not get a new Ancillary until the person holding it dies. That the same as the other unique (but transferable) ancillaries (like the Legion ones and the individually named ones).

Hmmmm. I would suggest looking into changing that. You could add a negative trait like "resentful" which could translate into "rebellious" to the character who is deprived of the ancillary.

Governorships were essentially a license to steal, and were coveted. If Gov's were particularly greedy, they could be brought to trial after their term was up. Not sure if that is representable in game terms.

Thanks, anyway for answering my question. Most appreciated.

Indeed - we are about to go into a round of detailed review of all the Traits, now that most are appearing as we want.

However, this one is possibly linked (iirc) to the way the game mechanics work and there are limitations; so no promises.
