Character Loyalties?

**Alkarin** · May 27, 2012, 05:21 PM

Is there some sort of mechanic with the loyalty in this mod? I've found over time even my very loyal characters will just lose loyalty for no reason (not affiliated with their traits). And I can't keep one man as General of an Army for more than a couple turns without him losing all his loyalty and at times rebelling. Is there a way I can keep them in check? Without having to switch leaders of the army every 4 turns? Because that becomes ridiculous if for instance you just dropped off a legion to fight in africa and the logistics of getting more characters at times is just unrealistic.

That's odd, I never had this problem in my test campaigns. 4 turns is indeed too short and it should not be like that...

It seems to kind of be at a rate of 1 ring per turn or 2. I had a general in Italy with 5 rings and once I put him on a ship with his army by the time he arrived in Africa (province or two west of carthage) he was already down to 1 ring.

I did notice with one of my prestigious old generals after he had finally dropped to zero loyalty once I put him in a settlement he gained 1 ring, but even a couple turns there it stayed at 1 ring so far. So I am still unsure. Am I the only one dealing with these loyalty issues?

I have this problem in where my faction leader. Is at Rome (Never Left Rome) and in the start of my campaign his loyalty was high but at my current time he has 2 loyalty rings.

Another is that I recruited a general and gave him command of a legion to fight the Dacians after his first battle I withdrew him back to a settlement to retrain and the next turn he had 2 loyalty rings from 4.

Your faction leader will never revolt, ignore his loyalty.

Also, even guys with 0 loyalty don't neccessarily have to revolt. Indeed, they rarely revolt at all.
