V68 nobles

[Judaspriester]

Hey,
I got that the nobility got reworked. But there's a point now that I don't really get: Until V67 you could promote someone to a noble and then assign him a title like "master of industry" etc, where he gives a boost inside the city. Now I appointed a noble, which worked but I don't get how to give him a task.
Would someone please be so kind and enlighten me what I'm missing? I already clicked myself through the menus without any success.

Yep, some guidance on the new nobles would be really great, since I conquered my first province and with 2 nobles (haven't seen a reason to care for more until now, mostly because of the chambers) I still sit at 5 gov points which is barely enough for the first city upgrade and I got no clue how to proceed from here.
So either I'm really missing something, or the game does a really awful job on explaining the new way nobles work.

If you open the nobles tab (top left) you should see all the nobles you have. Each noble can be assigned a profession to improve but they do not improve the profession in general but a number of workers.
For each unimproved nobleman you bonus 50 workers in that industry, for each improvement you add 250 more workers.
For the government points, without upgrading they are 5 and each upgrade adds 25.
Anyway if you put the cursor on the top it should indicate it to you

Allright, got it. I honestly can't rember when I used the nobles view in the top left the last time, so it seems like I overlooked that it's there very hard and already got mad because of it.

We already got similar hints for the first sick one, the first crime etc. So I would really like to see another hint like this pointing on the nobles menu once you promote your first noble. That would give some initial guidance and would prevent others from overlooking it like it happened to me.

but the number of nobles is limited, giving a small number of gov points.

Is there any other way to get more gov points?

As already said, 5 per noble and another 25 per promotion.
Besides that, as far as I've understood Jake in the Video for V68, he wants us to think more about how to use the nobles. Iirc he also already said earlier that he expects us players to have like 10 provinces under our direct control in endgame, not half of the map.

The same thing happened to me but with the government points, I think that like me what happened to you in this case is not a problem of the game but we thought we knew how it worked but having changed, suddenly we didn't understand it and we got frustrated.

I think there is a title that gives you 5% more but I haven't tried it. But anyway you can get enough so that the progress of conquest is progressive and at the same time it feels satisfying.
