This makes them very likely to declare wars on outsiders. On the one hand, Ambitious rulers will always look for ways to expand their, and in extension your, realm. That makes content people usually the first choice for leadership positions. The content trait comes with some slight attribute penalties, but is the easiest to handle due to their +50 opinion bonus towards their ruler. Ambitious: These two traits are so important that they deserve special mention. Traits like "Wroth" make them less "rational" which causes them to make stupid decisions. Traits like "Deceitful" make them more likely to take part in plots. Note that there are also some traits which cause hidden changes to AI behaviour. Traits: You should pick people with traits which give them an opinion-bonus with you, because the better their opinion, the more troops and taxes you get from them and the less likely they are to cause you any trouble.Martial increases the amount of troops they provide.
The first increases the amount of income they get, which allows them to upgrade their holdings and increases the taxes they pay to you (if you tax that kind of vassal). Stats: There are two stats you want to look out for when picking your middle-managers: Stewardship and Martial.But what if there are multiple candidates none of whom is ambitious? Is there some kind of strategy to selecting a new duke? What are important factors to consider?įor instance, I can see that when given the choice between an ambitious and non-ambitious duke, the latter is preferable. I feel like I could be doing a better job. Since my main factor, relations, fails to discriminate much between candidates, I am forced to essentially pick at random. Also, once the duke dies, there is little assurance his successors will like me as well. However while picking a -100 vassal is obviously undesirable, in practice the boost from being made Duke ensures that whoever I pick will have a pretty positive view of me anyway - so the revolt risk is low either way. I generally pick the count in the duchy's territory who likes me the most to minimize revolt risk. However, I am actually not sure how to pick the best duke. If duchy does not exist, I create a duchy, and then do this. To resolve this, I go to duchies I don't want, pick one of the counts in that duchy, and make them duke. After successful military campaigns, I often end up earning the ire of my vassals for "too many duchies".
