Port Governors

Port Governor
[Work in Progress - This forum post intends to summarize all details around Port Governors.]

Description
Every player can rise to become a Governor. As Governor of a port you get to see your name listed at the Court page while you also gets some extra privileges, like extra voting power.

How to become a Governor

A player must first attain the marquess rank. This will classify him as a noble and will make him a suitable candidate for the Governor position.
Secondly, the nation must have at least one port under its control, before a Governor can be assigned.

Once the two above requirements are met, then there are the following priority requirements versus other Marquesses of your country.

Priority A): Rightful King's Decree
A rightful King's choice receives the top priority when assigning Governors. If your nation has a Rightful King, then the Governors will be assigned based on his list, based on his priorities.

The player must be a Rightful King before the update for his choices to have validity.

If there is no Rightful King or if there are more ports than the listed persons, then Priority B comes into play.

Priority B): Governors preference

Every noble can declare his own preference by choosing which port he wishes to Govern. The Governor with the most influence will get the most preferred port of his list. In case there are more than one ports, the rest will be distributed again based on the priority granted by top influence.

If there are no preference lists, then the Priority C) emerges.

Priority C): Port by population

At this scenario, which is the rarest, the eligible Governors are listed by top influence. The Governor with the most influence, received the highest populated port which is also the Capital (for now). Then the Governor with the second highest influence receives the port with the second highest population, etc.

I tried to set a governor and since then it is saying updating... Go Back. Am I allowed to set one per day?

[Captain Jack]

It was a post implementation update as the first version missed the Port choice. It should now work fine.

[PhoenixKnight]

So I chose 5 governors and only 2 got appointed at update. Is this a when meet requirements too plus the nomination?

[Captain Jack]

There are still some issues that will need to be ironed out. If not by the next update, then by Friday's all should work as intended.

Edit: Our patch is over. So it should work as intended by this update. It did at least in our final test run. If not, let us know.

Is there a reason non-nation ports are listed?

[Captain Jack]

How else you will be able to preset a Governor for a forthcoming conquest?

The order list matters too. This is why in the future we will add arrows to change priorities.

Global Domination is now viable, with pre-planning of the spoil dispersment at a government level

Being able to order the list would be great, realistically most of us are only rarely going to need to see the ports we don't control and being able to customise the list order would make it more user friendly.

You can order it through delete and makeover for now
