Council mission questions

[nindustrial]

A couple questions regarding missions for council members.

1. Does sending a Chancellor to a county which you already control the capital holding (i.e. you hold the title of Count) ever improve relations with your vassals within the county (mayors, bishops, barons)? I would guess no to bishops at least given you can use the Chaplain to improve those relations. If not, I guess gifting (or granting honorary titles) is the primary way to increase their opinion of you?

2. Does sending your Spymaster to uncover plots operate to discover a plot only if the plotter is in the county he's placed in? In other words, if I suspect a vassal count is plotting against me, I need to place the Spymaster in that vassal's county, not the county where my character sits, right?

3. If I want to use my Chancellor to sow dissent in order to weaken the link between a King/Duke and his Count vassal, I need to place the chancellor in the King's seat of power, not the Count's?

For 1. I think it's a yes. Don't quote me on that though.

I don't know about 2. and I'd like to know as well. I suspect you need to place the spymaster where the plotting nobles are, not where your character is.

For 3. I'd say you place the chancellor at the place of the vassal in the liege/vassal relationship. The alternative doesn't make sense, as a liege might have multiple vassals.

1. I guess it only works for mayors and barons since for bishophs your court chaiplan has the option to increase relations with the clergy.

2. I totaly dont know how it works but I know that playing as England my spymaster uncovered plots all over the place (plotter and target) no matter where I placed him (London/Cornwell/Lothian). Today I even had my spymaster uncover a plot (to kill my son) while he was stealing tech in Gibralta. SOI guess there is allways a base chance to uncover (probably based on state-intrigue while the mission increases it in that region where he placed. Usually I place him at home when my dynasty might die with the next plot

1) yes, he will try to improve mayor and baron opinion

2) I'm not 100% sure, I think that if the plotter is in the province or if the target is in the province it will have effect... not 100% sure

3) At the count place
