Authority Bug

[Steward Denethor II]

I have a quick question. I have noticed that if my King gets super low authority, like at least a few points in the negative, he actually gets 10 authority. Has anyone encountered this bug? I was just wondering if that causes him to have the effects of 10 authority, or zero. And is there a fix?

Sounds to me like you have been looking into that palantir again! How can you have negative authority? How does it show?

[Steward Denethor II]

The negative authority does not show, its just that the King has several traits that would add up to negative authority, and it shows ten. I will get up some screenshots soon.

Aye, like Alcoholic or Cuckold, etc, if your King is a drunken heathen cuckold bastard miserable fool and ignorant, it's likely his authority will be under zero. I know a solution for the bug. Charge him unto wooden stakes.

Sounds like the Dark Lord has taken his soul! Maybe if you took the One Ring to the fires of Mount Doom it would release him?

Here are the screenshots.

The Teutonic Grand master was a good leader....



Until he became an alcoholic!!! No!!



And then his wife slept with a dozen guys, and suddenly... he becomes the most respected and obeyed King in the Baltic.



Do you understand now?

Note: I am just using cheats to show the bug. Very similar things have occasionally happened in my games.

LOL! the Hochmeister must be Lutheran to be married!! You must have left him too long in a town with a tavern or similar without moving him, or even worse, built one of the tavern line of buildings while he was there with 100% movement

Maybe they feel so bad for him that they do whatever he says.
