Characters are the various important people that exist in the world, both historical and fictional.
Characters are the various important people that exist in the world, both historical and fictional. All characters can be renamed at any point.
 
Ambitions are a Leader's desires for what they want to achieve. Completing an Ambition will give <span style="color:green;">'''+10'''</span> [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] Legitimacy while failing or abandoning an Ambition an Ambition will give <span style="color:red;">'''-5'''</span> [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] Legitimacy.

=== Injuries ===
The Cognomen is the title that appears after a character's name and is granted after a character does enough specific actions. Cognomens increase [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] Legitimacy and once a character acquires a Cognomen it can only acquire a different one if it grants more [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] Legitimacy than the current one.
Very rarely a character who is a [[File:CHAR FILTER GENERAL.png|25px]] General can become Wounded or Severely Wounded when its unit is attacked. In a few years the character may die, heal, or gain a permanent trait.

== Legitimacy ==
Legitimacy comes from Ambitions, Cognomen and random events. Each point of Legitimacy grants 1 Family Opinion and 0.1 [[File:YIELD ORDERS.png|25px]] Orders per turn.
 
Ambitions are a Leader's desires for what they want to achieve. Completing an Ambition will give <span style="color:green;">'''+10'''</span> Legitimacy while failing or abandoning an Ambition an Ambition will give <span style="color:red;">'''-5'''</span> Legitimacy. When a Nation Leader dies its Ambitions become Legacies, meaning that they will fail if not completed within 20 turns. Legacies provide only <span style="color:green;">'''+5'''</span> Legitimacy when completed.
 
Legitimacy gained from events and Ambitions does not decay when a new Leader takes the throne. It is better to complete Ambitions before they become Legacies.
 
If a human player Nation completes 10 Ambitions (including Legacies) an Ambition Victory will be achieved if this Victory type is enabled.
 
=== Cognomen ===
[[File:New Cognomen.png|thumb|Gaining a new Cognomen]]
The Cognomen is the title that appears after a character's name and is granted after a character does enough specific actions. Cognomens affect [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] Legitimacy and once a character acquires a Cognomen it can only acquire a different one if it grants more [[File:YIELD LEGITIMACY.png|25px]] Legitimacy than the current one. If a Nation Leader dies the Heir will start as "The New", which grants no Legitimacy.
 
Legitimacy from the Cognomens of previous Leaders decays each time a new Leader takes control (it starts at 50% and decays to 33%, 25%, 20%, 16.6%, 13.3%, 11.6% and 10%).
 
The renown threshold for unlocking Cognomens increases by 5% for each subsequent Leader, making them more expensive as the game progresses.

Legitimacy

Legitimacy comes from Ambitions, Cognomen and random events. Each point of Legitimacy grants 1 Family Opinion and 0.1 YIELD ORDERS.png Orders per turn.

Ambitions are a Leader's desires for what they want to achieve. Completing an Ambition will give +10 Legitimacy while failing or abandoning an Ambition an Ambition will give -5 Legitimacy. When a Nation Leader dies its Ambitions become Legacies, meaning that they will fail if not completed within 20 turns. Legacies provide only +5 Legitimacy when completed.

Legitimacy gained from events and Ambitions does not decay when a new Leader takes the throne. It is better to complete Ambitions before they become Legacies.

If a human player Nation completes 10 Ambitions (including Legacies) an Ambition Victory will be achieved if this Victory type is enabled.

Cognomen

Gaining a new Cognomen

The Cognomen is the title that appears after a character's name and is granted after a character does enough specific actions. Cognomens affect YIELD LEGITIMACY.png Legitimacy and once a character acquires a Cognomen it can only acquire a different one if it grants more YIELD LEGITIMACY.png Legitimacy than the current one. If a Nation Leader dies the Heir will start as "The New", which grants no Legitimacy.

Legitimacy from the Cognomens of previous Leaders decays each time a new Leader takes control (it starts at 50% and decays to 33%, 25%, 20%, 16.6%, 13.3%, 11.6% and 10%).

The renown threshold for unlocking Cognomens increases by 5% for each subsequent Leader, making them more expensive as the game progresses.
