Guide to Politics

------------------
Written by SohiRifter

-=How to Politic=-
* Do not ever upgrade enemy generals  
  (p.s. characters not of your dynasty are an enemy).
* Upgrading skills/stats/perks also increases gravitas, most of the 
  time, which will lower your political power.
* Make them all generals, because even low gravitas character can/will 
  influence political power.
* Game Logic: if they're not over-seas, fighting wars, they're messing 
  with your political power.
* If the enemy dynasty (political group) has too many characters, sent 
  them off to die in wars.
* You'll take the hit for a military loss, since you're in charge, 
  but this is good for the long game.
* Retire/hire at least one high/mid gravitas generating character, 
  who will act as a statesmen.
* It helps with the long game and allows you to counter mistakes, 
  like all-hands-on-board wars.

-=Notes=- 
* The idea is to remove/minimize enemy influence while increasing your 
  own, which also increases with military victories.
* If you kill all members of a political/dynasty group at the start, 
  it dies off for good; but will be replace eventually.
* Later on, killing all members of a political/dynasty just has a new 
  member spawn; rebellion is the only fix.

How to Deal with Corruption

----------------------------
Written by Khaan

In this guide I will show you how to deal with corruption real easy and 
it will not pass 30% at imperium level 7.

-=How-To=-
* Go to your political screen and characters section.
* Get alot of women either by giving every male character a spouse or 
  hiring them, your children will do as well.
* Wait for those women to reach 35 years old.
* Promote them to level 4 this will give each of them -5% corruption.

Now doing this will give alot of gravitas to your political opponents 
but you will balance it out with winning wars and battles also having 
alot of senators helps, when you reach a certain point loyalty will 
come freely and try to gather influence as much as you can to reduce 
their power.

Changing government type to empire also helps alot because of natural 
loyalty increase.

Every single women should reach level 4 in your senate otherwise you will 
not get the maximum corruption reduction that you can also I realized if 
you have alot of people in the political section they give alot of bonuses
like global tax increase or global income increase from culture.
