Gain loyalty?

[Fang [DK]]

anyone got a clue how to gain more "Loyalty" with your men?

i got the basic of the game but the loyalty thing bugs me....

Give them items from the merchant, marry them to a maiden, appoint them lord of a castle or regent of a province. All those things raise loyalty. There are also a few clan policies you can enact that raise loyalty with certain officers.

Another question that is related:

I see sometimes, when you recruit an officer they have a -3 loyalty modifier for being their clans sworn enemy. This will show up even if I'm taken the clan out of the game completely.

Is that -3 loyalty for being their 'sworn enemy' permanent or does it go away with time.

I've also seen releasing and recruiting the officer as a ronin makes the penalty go away but you can't guarantee where they'll decide to go after they get released.

[Ogami]

The "sworn enemy" trait goes away after they are employed for a while in your service.
They were your mortal enemy a day before, of course they will have lingering resentment for a while because you conquered them.

The loyalty can be increased by giving items as rewards.
@hamysho - Just like in real life, people remember what happened to them, and what you've done. From what I understand, the modifier will reduce over time, but it can take years, not months to happen. That resentment is just one of the things you need to keep in mind when recruiting.

in nobu13 u can either expel the retainer OR execute him/her. in this version u cant execute anymore?

[Ogami]

Correct, you only can expel them from the clan. If you later catch them in battle you can execute them like all other captured officers.

in my game which is in Chinese, when u capture a daimyo and execute him, he will said something like: I will wait for you in hell while await your agonizing death arrive. somthing like that from my poor translation. I dont know in the english version what the line said when u execute a daimyo who got caught.

[Ogami]

I only executed a few officers who did not want to join and were to dangerous to let go.
Most of the time they say something like " I will see you in hell" or " Afraid of my talents? Cant blame you..."

[hamysho]

I'm always torn about executing officers because if I someone with a good skill I can give it to one of my officers that likes me.

Everyone with an opposing ideology will die. ^_^

Does executing effect anything? Like does it make officers lsoe loyalty or some kind of penalty?

Nope, if you like it do it ^_^
Also if you want to remove a very dangerous enemy officer

[Shad]

Again, would like to point out "Meritocracy" policy is a great way to make sure any officers who are good remain loyal.

[DarkThug]

The only thing that bug me about this loyalty system is....... the least loyal officer get all the good stuffs, while the loyal one remain a humble servant for the rest of his life. lol

[VoiD]

That's probably because the best officers are also the most ambitious and may be less inclined to follow the unworthy, or equals.

[blind man]

I prefer not to excecute anyone and just 'catch them all' after I take out their clan so I can get that sweet trophy. AI officers are not really dangerous even with good stats because the player can just outmanoeuvre the AI and win easily. The only way I see execution is good is when my clan is weak and eveyone has garbage stats lol.
