Whether you choose to do nothing, offer money to fund mercenary assistance, or choose to fight directly alongside them against their aggressors, there’ll be a relevant impact on their Fealty. From time to time you may be called upon by an Elector Count, via a Political Event, to assist them militarily against roaming invaders. For example, if a civil war ensues, you’ll have to choose sides between the Elector Counts.
These can directly impact your Prestige, Imperial Authority, your economy, or the Fealty of the Elector Counts – for good or ill! These events can drive meaningful real-world consequences. Political Events: Political Events are a new type of event which can trigger during the course of an Empire campaign.This will unlock one of the legendary Runefang weapons (The Ostermark Runefang: Troll Cleaver in this case), and grants access to an elite, unique Empire unit variant (Ostermark grants the Knights of the Everlasting Light). Should you own an Empire State’s capital city, you can assign a character as its Elector Count (for example, you may own Bechafen in Ostermark, and choose to assign Wolfram Hertwig to the position). Summon the Elector Counts!: The new Elector Counts panel displays the characters which occupy Elector Count roles and tracks their Fealty towards the Empire.If their Fealty drops low enough however, they may secede from the Empire altogether. When an Elector Count’s Fealty reaches a certain height, they will pledge their unswerving loyalty to the Empire with an offer of confederation. Fealty: Fealty is an overall measure of an Elector Count’s loyalty towards the Empire and is influenced by many factors, including (but not limited to) Imperial Authority, your overall tech-level, diplomatic attitude, and the new Political Events.If your Imperial Authority falls too low, you risk the Elector Counts turning against you en-masse in an Imperial civil war! Low Authority incurs the reverse, plus reduced public order and leadership. High Authority grants enhanced growth, tax rate, and increases the chances of improved Fealty from the Elector Counts. Prestige: Prestige can be used to manage the player’s Imperial Authority, and is acquired through winning battles and constructing ever-more impressive edifices.Imperial Authority: Empire players can extend their authority across the empire by engaging in internal politics and quelling agitators in their efforts to confederate or go to war with the Elector Counts leading other major Empire factions.
