I've been playing as Rome and have run into a consistent problem.
That problem being a new Faction Leader, selected by the engine or script or whatever, that has no useful stats, command and confidence zero, etc, and when jumped up to his faction leader job has 1 authority.
Over time I lose loyalty in the greater majority of my family members, draining down from high middle to just one or two ticks remaining.
I've done everything I can think of to either by pass this issue by gaming the growth of my fm to the best of my ability but whatever I do, the worst possible young fm is selected to be leader.
This happens with the third leader (game start is 1, my pick with the designated heir gizmo is the second, this craptastic leader is the third).
This really makes the game a miserable play experience.
And I am using the designated heir ancillary to try to avoid this. The game just ignores it.
Help me!
Please.
Thanks.
