Make government more useful and differentiated

[Canute VII]

This is my proposal to make government more useful: add monarch power points if certain conditions are met, depending on government rank and ruler personality.
Conditions:
A) 95% legitimacy
B) 25% prestige
C) being no more than -10% behind in technology (for each tech category)
(the exact numbers would require some tweaking)

Based on government rank, one or more conditions must be met:
Dutchy: conditions A, B, C
Monarchy: conditions B, C
Empire: condition C

Ruler personality would determine the adm category. Players would always be assigned a balanced personality, although this could also be something that gets more dynamically assigned. Alternatively, so not to accentuate the main trait of the ruler, point could be added to his weakest adm category rather than his strongest, to emulate the support of his royal suite.

3 points would be added, representing goodwill towards and status of government. The points would not be added on a monthly basis, but on a yearly basis, where the conditions must be met end of year and end of the following year. In between years conditions must not neccessarily be met.

Any elaborations and critique are warmely welcomed.

I agree we need more interaction with the governments/dynasties of our nations. The parliament system demonstrates we are moving in this direction, and I will be excited to see what will develop in the future. I think that rulers should be able to choose a personality upon assuming the throne for player characters which will confer some small bonuses:
Diplomatic: +10% better relations over time & -5% aggressive expansion
Militaristic: -0.05 monthly war exhaustion & +5% morale (maybe increase in leader points if made general)
Administrative: -0.5 national unrest + 5% tax income
Colonial: +5 global settler increase & +5% trade income

A smaller version of the idea would entail adding +1 admin mp once legitimacy is 100%
- every 3rd month for dutchies
- every 2nd month for kingdoms
- every month for empire

If by choose, you mean have allocated at random then yeah! otherwise ... ok I guess?
But more like things like Charismatic: +0.5 dip.rep, +5% better relations over time, or Athletic: +1 MIL value, +10%health (more likely to live longer) or Just (-2% revolt risk in all provinces, +1% tax income). Would need to be balanced though, but some traits could be a little better than others; most should have 2 up sides and a downside really, so for example a ruler could be Charismatic (2 boni as given, and Weak: -10% health). Or something.

Can we not base it on yet another thing with virtually no player agency ?

I'm against this specifically on the grounds that there's no way to rank up unless you have Common Sense.

Nobody types „kingdom“ wrong, but too many people mistype „duchy“.

Was hoping for someone to say: Empire. Empire. Empire. Empire. Empire.

But you had to ruin the joke...

I think what the OP really wants is a prestige rework.
