REGIONAL TITLES ANCILLARY SYSTEM
Tsardoms Total War features a title system which is linked to controlling certain territories. Most of the settlements in the game have a certain title ancillary attached to it (currently only Eastern Europe, the Balkans and Greece have ancillaries in every single settlement, Germany, Italy and Anatolia do not have all of them yet but are partially done). In order to obtain the ancillary generally a general must spend 1 turn in a settlement which has a level 1 feudal estate built. The next turn he will have an ancillary with the name of the title and its effects.
Generally, the title ancillaries are of 3 types:
- Imperial ancillaries (such as Holy Roman Emperor, Roman Emperor, Latin Emperor of Constantinopole and so on)
- Major ancillaries (such as King of Hungary, King of Naples and so on)
- Minor ancillaries (such as Ban of Severin, Knez of Knin and so on)
Generally, the titles differ based on the 3 major religions Orthodox, Catholic and Islamic. Sometimes the ancillaries will be the same for all Christian religions.
The ancillaries all have bonus effects such as additional command points, additional law, farming income, trading income and so on. The harder it is to obtain an ancillary the higher will the bonuses be. The Imperial ancillaries have the highest bonuses.
The following imperial ancillaries are currently available:
- Roman Emperor - must be an Orthodox faction, faction leader must spend 1 turn in Constantinopole, patriarch must be in Constantinopole
