Loyalty Help meee

Loyalty I am with difficulty to obtain general loyal, and worse when I obtain to the long one of the campaign it simply turns rebel... Exists some way to keep the loyalty of the general, and as it trains it with high loyalty?

I managed to translate most for you....

I would reckon you keep them in or around Rome or with a more Loyal General for a bit, either that you involve them in as many Victories as you can.

If they win lots of battles they LOSE loyalty I think.

The more battles your generals fight the less loyal they become... Do not use the same general to fight all your battles and keep an eye on them.

If they have 1 or less loyalty rings rest them at a fully upgraded imperial city governed by a loyal governor. He will recover loyalty in time...

Keep unloyal generals/relatives next to your heir/leader or the most loyal characters of your faction.

Unloyal generals/relatives will defect and spread unloyalty around

What is a safe loyalty to send a general out in command of a legion? Is 3 rings OK?

well... in times of despair I use my 1 ring generals to command some legions but as soon as they come out of a battle... bang they switch sides

I'd recommend the minimum of 2 loyalty rings to field an army... demote them or bring your special ones (loyal) from/to the army as soon as they have one ring

tyyyy

yeah you have to manage generals pretty carefully...if they have bad loyalty, best thing to do is keep them in a city for a while...city life will make them happy again

i usualy try to have at least 4 ring generals, but when the situation calls for it i use whatever is available.

I would just like to get a clarification on loyalty.

1. Does a general always lose loyalty when he gets too successful in battle - meaning, they lose loyalty if they win too many battles?

2. Does a general really gain loyalty from sitting in a settlement, or do they have to be the governor?

3. Is there any other way to boost a general's loyalty? In MtW, you could marry a princess to a disloyal general, increasing his loyalty, but does SPQR have an equivalent?

**Konig** · April 23, 2007, 01:02 AM

1. yes

2. it would have to be a settlement with imperial palace + every building available built, but yes. not sure about the being governor though, but i dont think so.

3. read point 2

Cool, thanks for the info, Konig. Too bad someone doesn't write a game guide for SPQR......I realise that it would a momumental task, but one that would greatly help newbies to SPQR like myself.

Maybe I could do this.. I dont know. If I have time.

I will start a thread for people to post things that could go in a guide and I will compile them. After all there is still a lot about SPQR that I don't know.
