Any point in encouraging aristocrats?

[almogo]

Do they have any benefits aside of the very small production boost percentage for RGOs?

 

[Jorlaan]

I never have. By the time the game starts aristocrats are on the way out and capitalists are on the way in (so to speak) so focusing them is like delaying the inevitable, or holding back whats better.

Their bonus to RGOs is negligible. No real point to work on them.

They tend to be more reactionary, so if you wanted to roll back reforms then they might be useful. Other than that.... no.

Unless you're extremely determined to stop liberalism becoming a force in your country then no not really and even then some might go liberal sooner rather than later.
