How to deploy governors?

[Rigley]

I am sorry if this question has been already answered, but I couldn't find a answer.

How do one "deploy " governors (ex-dignitary) in province!? Should I simply place governor anywhere in a province, since I cannot place him in city anyway. Or shall do some other manipulations in order to get my governor to use his bonuses?

Also, what about deploy button for governor ? In my case, I have to press this button every turn, since once pressed, it only lasts for one turn.

And the final question, when governor stays in province, even with pressed deploy button and empire maintenance traits, the level of empire maintenance is not reduced, judging from provincial tab.

What gives?

You only need to deploy him once anywhere in the region. I for neatness sake place him next to the provincial capital.
EM should decrease though it might not really be seen if the EM is already extremely low. 3% decrease of nothing is nothing
If you need to deploy him every turn something is wrong with your game. Try to get some screenshots

And I thought I was going crazy. This happened to me as well in my Rome campaign last night. I bought a Governor and deployed him where he spawned the next turn, beside Rome, and noticed that he un-deployed the turn after that. Deployed him again, next turn un-deployed again.

I fixed it for myself by moving the governor further from the city. I dropped him out of the way in the hills in central Italy, on the road between Neapolis and Rome, and deployed him there. He's stayed deployed ever since. No clue why he was un-deploying near a city and I didn't try to replicate it, but just moving him further from the city fixed it for me.

Thanks, may be those screenshots (3 of them) would help. On the first screenshot you'd see a governor in Sicily, not deployed. On the second screenshot I deploy this governor, hoping to get happiness for eternity. Then, on the third screenshot (1 turn later) you can see the very same governor, not deployed again. So I would have to deploy him again, every turn.

[Rigley]

So, to make sure I have understood correctly, a mode of governor's function is the following: hire a governor; place him anywhere in a province; deploy

Is this correct? No more things to do with him, like trying to attach him to anything or something like that?

Another odd thing I have noticed is that even if I press deploy button, I do NOT get bonuses every turn. Sometimes it's a bonus one turn, but when I deploy governor next turn, I see that the amount of money I get is actually decreasing, which is odd.

This might just be because of your income changing because of seasonal effects.

Thanks, at least this one is clear for me now.

[FlashHeart07]

Yes that is rather odd.
What version of the mod are you using?
What submods are you using, if any? (This includes any submod files in your data folder)
Are you using the WIP Update pack for DeI? Found here, http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...d-December-12)
Verifying your game files might help (though Im not entirely sure)
You can also try what Seran did, moving him to another location seeing if that helps.

[Rigley]

I am not using any submods at all. The mod I am using is - v.2.2.0 Build 16155.736913* (at least that's what written on loading screen)

I will try the solution of moving governors away form any city, may be it will help.

[Rigley]

All right, the DEI version is 1.1 I guess, I have a Steam workshop version.

I will try to reinstall the whole mod via Steam workshop though, since I have try to move governors around, but no effect - I still have to deploy them each turn.

May be something was installed wrong on the first place, I don't know.

[FlashHeart07]

Not entirely what I ment. I believe that is the actual game version of Rome 2. What I ment was, are you using the standalone or steam version of the mod and are you using the WIP update pack?

I just deploy my dignitaries where they spawn when recruited so it would be odd if the distance to the city should have any effect. Hopefully, though odd, it will solve it

[JCB206]

This may seem simple but does your governor show a red arrow after he moves? If he has any movement orders left after you deploy him, he will move again next turn.

[FlashHeart07]

If you can live without the auto update I would suggest to use the standalone version of the mod found as a stickied thread here on TWC.

Sometimes agents become undeployed. I think this happens if they are deployed too near a city or an army/other agent at random times. Also could be if another agent interacts with them. I am not really sure there is any way to fix that, I believe it is in vanilla also.

This. It is a vanilla thing. I dont know why does it happen, but for me it is randomly. Sometimes I deploy my governor. In the next 1-2 turns i check the governor's status and it stays deployed . After that i dont look at it for 10-20 turns and when i check it again its undeployed. Otherhand sometimes it stays deployed for 20 or more turns.

I had wrote this issue to the official Rome2 support forum when patch 17 was WIP, but CA didnt repair this issue.

Thank you for clarifying. I have reinstalled the mod, bypassed the Steam workshop version for standalobe downloadable version. Will see how it works.

However I could still use generals as governors, provided they are alone and stationed within provincial capitals, right?

A general stationed in a city wont work in the same way as a dignitary will. He will gain exp and through that you can give him skills which in turn will increase income from trade, increase PO etc etc.

I see. Thanks for an explanation.

And what about the faction leader, providing he is in senatorial status (he brings bonuses and such for the whole realm). When you deploy dignitary, do his bonuses add to global bonuses of faction leader?

[Dresden]

No, faction leader effects are a separate thing.
