I thought today we could take a look at Triumphs. When I started typing this, I didn't think there'd be much to say about them, but now I've reaslied that Triumphs could be given more complexity and impact in the game.
Triumph
At the moment, Triumphs can be awarded to any character who has won a battle (once a year). This means that if your Ruler has a low popularity, you can stir up a single unit of Barbarians and defeat them with your Ruler, award him a Triumph and get his popularity back to 100%. I read some information on Triumphs and there seems to be prerequisites that aren't taken into account by the game. I won't go into what the requirements are, but an in-game translation could be as follows:
A Triumph can only be offered if the following requirements are met:
A Triumph should also gain the unique, permanent title; Triumphator. This title would give the awarded General something like:
A Triumphator's rivals should also suffer a small, instant loyalty hit. The popularity and loyalty increase for the Triumphator should remain as it is in the current game.
Imperial Triumphs
I also discovered that in the period of the Roman Empire, Triumphs were reserved for the Emperor and his family. So, I think that if you have the government type Imperium, the following requirements should be necessary:
Ovation
An Ovation (or Ovatio) should also be a seperate reward for victorius Generals in the game. The restrictions wouldn't be as harsh as those for Triumph, but the rewards and negative effects will be half of what a Triumph would give and there would be no unique title given. The only restrictions should be:
An Ovation can be awarded to a victorious General twice in one year.
Again, I apologise for the long post. Let me know what you think.

A Triumph can only be offered if the following requirements are met:
- The victory is against a foreign enemy in a declared war (i.e. no Barbarians, Rebels or Pirates).
- The victory resulted in 5000 enemy casualties (or the loss of 5 enemy ships).
- The victorious General must be located (or docked) at your Capital to recieve the Triumph.
A Triumph should also gain the unique, permanent title; Triumphator. This title would give the awarded General something like:
- Monthly Prominence +0.5
- Unit Loyalty Chance +0.5
- Max. Friends +1
- Max. Rivals +1
A Triumphator's rivals should also suffer a small, instant loyalty hit. The popularity and loyalty increase for the Triumphator should remain as it is in the current game.

- The victorious General must be part of the Ruling family.
Ovation
An Ovation (or Ovatio) should also be a seperate reward for victorius Generals in the game. The restrictions wouldn't be as harsh as those for Triumph, but the rewards and negative effects will be half of what a Triumph would give and there would be no unique title given. The only restrictions should be:
- The victory is against lesser enemies (i.e. Barbarians, Rebels and Pirates) and not in a declared war.
- The victory resulted in the loss of less than 2000 friendly troops (or 2 ships).
An Ovation can be awarded to a victorious General twice in one year.
