Kings

The king/queen are the leaders of kingdoms. There can only be one per kingdom. Kings will always become citizens of their kingdom's capital but may sometimes be seen elsewhere.

When a kingdom reaches a population of 3, it'll generate a king. Kings are usually given the strongest items the kingdom can forge/craft, making them one of the strongest units for their respective kingdoms without player intervention. Kings can also affect kingdom opinion through their mood and traits.

Effect on the kingdom

After version 0.8, a kingdom can be affected by a king's diplomacy, warfare, and stewardship stats and mood.

King / Leader Expressions

The icons of kings and leaders will display various expressions, based on their current situation. These expressions are NOT related to their mood.

The expression of kings is determined as follows:

  • If the king is engaged in combat, it shows the "angry" expression. If not,
  • If the king currently has a plot, it shows the "surprised" expression. If not,
  • If the king's kingdom currently has enemies, it shows the "normal" expression. If not,
  • If all the above conditions are not satisfied, it shows the "happy" expression
  • Kings will not show the "sad" expression (although the king's sad expression is present in game files)
  • Kings will not show the "sad" expression (although the king's sad expression is present in game files).

The expression of leaders is determined as follows:

  • If the leader is engaged in combat, it shows the "angry" expression. If not,
  • If the leader currently has a plot, it shows the "surprised" expression. If not,
  • If the leader's kingdom currently has enemies, it shows the "normal" expression. If not,
  • If the leader's village loyalty is below zero, it shows the "sad" expression. If not,
  • If all the above conditions are not satisfied, it shows the "happy" expression

Leaders

Leaders are individuals who rule a specific village. Leaders are crowned once a kingdom reaches a population of 3. Similarly to kings, they appear as a head on the map even when zoomed out but have a silver crown instead of a golden crown and a less flashy robe. Only civilized creatures can be leaders as they are the only ones capable of forming villages and kingdoms.

Leaders manage diplomacy inside their respective villages instead of the entire kingdom like kings. Depending on the leader's mood and stats (and king's), the village may be more or less loyal to the kingdom possibly leading to rebellions. It could also impact the village's relationship with other villages within their same kingdom.

Leader's stats can also impact how fast a village shares resources (supply timer stat), and the speed of culture development inside their village (intelligence stat).

Leaders are usually given the most amount of resources and best weapons and equipment in their village, unless they are the leader of a capital village in which the king will receive the best items instead.

A leader will be chosen from a random person once a new village is found or by clan if the village is from an already existing kingdom. Once a leader dies, the heir of the leader's clan will become the new leader of the village. If the leader does not have any heirs, a random person will become the new leader of the village. Unlike kings, if their respective villages is taken by an opposing kingdom in a war and they survive, they will still be the leader of that village.

Attribute Dice and the Crowning of New Kings and Leaders

A unit's max "attribute dice roll" is a sum of all their leadership stats (diplomacy, warfare, and stewardship).

Appointing Leaders

For a new leader to be crowned these conditions must be met:

  • At least 3 people in the village
  • No current leader in the village
  • Village is not in the process of being captured

Then the game tries to get the "clan leader" usually those at the top of clans are already kings or leaders so the game will move past them to the next uncrowned clan member.

Attribute Dice - Clan Creation

Sometimes this can lead to new clans being created if there are no available clan members to fill the role. This is where the attribute dice comes in.

  • First the game will search for units that are at least 18 years old
  • Then the game will "roll" the units attribute dice once and then add the results together (results can be 0 to leadership stat sum (mentioned at the top))
  • The dice will be rolled 3 times if the unit has been favorited by the player

The unit with the highest sum of their dice rolls will become the founder of a new clan.

Crowning Kings

For a new king to be crowned these conditions must be met:

  • Must be at least 1 village leader alive
  • No current king

If their are more than 1 village leader then a attribute dice will be rolled twice for each leader. Their will be two rolls for each leader instead of one and they will be added together and the leader with the highest sum is crowned king.

Bug when Crowning Kings

So what's supposed to happen is the eldest member of the king's clan is supposed to inherit the throne but because of a mis-input in the code the game will use the "attribute dice" instead. This will factor in all leaders of a kingdom including ones not in the king's clan possibly leading to another clan taking the throne.

Personalities and Influence

All kings and leaders have special "stats" called personality and influence. At the moment, the stats personalities give don't seem to have any actual effects except for the "aggression" stat which can increase chances of a king declaring war.
