=== Weaknesses ===
=== Injuries ===
Weaknesses are traits that give various penalties. A character can have up to 3 Weaknesses.
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.
