How do I increase Gerontes?
Is marriage the only way to gain + Gerontes? I can see there are some benefits to spending it - small bonuses (and making your general feel important before dying!) but I can't see how to increase it other than selecting the option to marry distant cousins to other families, and I've run out of eligible cousins above the age of 5 (maybe I need to start looking at the slave auctions).

I have a few hours into the game (500+), but I don't know what Gerontes is.

What is it, and what does it do?

best to win battles with youre family. dont do marriage as its a waste of money and youre general wil almost always gt bad women lool but try to win as much battles as you can with them :) i spam promotion till i get 10% and then just win battles and it will rise quickly

You mean 'How do I get more influence?'. Honestly, don't worry about it, it doesn't really matter. Your influence is affected by the gravitas and ambition of your family/faction's generals, I'm pretty sure.

The reason it doesn't really matter is because whether it's high, low or middle, you will have a civil war at some point. Politics = useless.

Gerontes are members of the Spartan political system. The rough equivalent of Senators in Rome.

Still have this problem, even winning battles. I seem to have now a fixed 10 of 30 gerontes and can't do anything political now...

So I have the same problem as Sparta...

As Rome you get a general WIN battles get gravitas wich will generate influence. And you try no to gain to much...

But as Sparta the system is different. I have a 40% (with 3 generalt) against 60% of Other families (ONE general that I avoid battle with)

Winning battle earns me Gravitas BUT NOT influence....



HOW do I earn my influence back?

(How I got here was just beacuse I didnt get any Royal generals and had to adopt)
