Political Impact

Popularity has its benefits.
This mod gives your faction extra bonuses according to how politically powerful you are.
It also makes playing the political mini-game a little easier so that you have more control over your power/influence.

This mod was designed to work with vanilla Rome 2, but it doesn't change any existing files.
Simply put, the more influence you have the easier the game will be.


...UPDATE....
I've tweaked the gravitas you earn for promotions, multiplying them by 10!
I've also changed the political power bonus you get for reaching rank 7 to 100 political power!
You will notice that you now rarely if ever suffer negative influence for promotions and will see your influence increase in real time. Voila! You now have control over your political destiny :)


....Politics as Un-Usual...
Vanilla Rome gave you minor bonuses on Research Points, Public Order, Taxes and Morale.

My mod adds the following bonuses to the mix...
Army Movement (your armies will move slower or faster per turn according to your influence)
Diplomacy (your faction will get negative or extra diplomatic points according to influence at home)
Corruption (the more powerful your party, the less your governors will steal from you and vice versa)
Army Upkeep (the more influence you have, the less you will have to pay your armies in the field)
Construction Time (the more influence, the less turns it takes to complete your buildings and vice versa)


Here is a list of the effects based on popularity...
