How to reduce controversy?

[Isiforo.s]

I was a marshall and after that my controversy was apparently too bad. I havn't the rights to get something anymore. Is this a bug?. How to remove that "controversy"?. Thanks.

Short answer: spend some productive time not being a marshal.

Controversy fades over time.

it just does m8. people forget all the things done in your name. As marshal, you are being blamed for every single bad thing that happens to the kingdom. The small little lord with 30 men gets defeated half-way across the map? you get the blame. By not being marshal, it'll just go down as people start blaming someone else.

Because of this, I never accept when the king offers to make me the marshal. There doesn't seem to be a downside to declining the offer, or if there is a down side, it is pretty minor.

BUT HOW DO I UNDO THAT I AM A MARSHALL, I CAN'T MARRY VERA BECAUSE OF MY CONTROVERSY.

Defeating enemy vassals also decreases controversy, I believe. A better way of getting it down than giving up being marshal and waiting.

I HAVE EVERYTHING, I HAVE NO ENEMIES, I FORGOT TO SAY, I'M THE KING OF THE RED ARMY, I'M THE ONE WHO IS DECIDING. I AM THE ONE WHO KILLS, I AM THE ONE WHO CAN FIRE A MINISTER, I AM THE ONE WHO HAS EVERYTHING. I HAVE THE CHEATMENU, ALL PLACES, YOU NAME THEM, THEY ARE UNDER MY NAME. BUT I CAN'T GET MY CONTROVERSY DOWN BECAUSE FEW OF MY FRIENDS DON'T AGREE WITH EACHOTHER.

give up the marshalship, and stop typing in caps. now you're just rising your controversy with us. As king, you are the default marshal. pass it onto one of your vassels.

Yeah, screaming people aren't popular in the kingdom of Gabe Newell. :D

If you want to resign your marshallship, you have to go speak to your king and tell him you don't want it anymore. If you're the king, tell one of your trusty lord that you want him to be the marshall. That's it. Then controversy will go down on its own. It also goes down every time you do a successful hostile action on the enemies of your kingdom, the bigger the deed, the faster it's reduced. Something like taking an enemy castle or city will make it down by a lot.

Either be a good marshal that wins battles and takes settlements or drop the title.

I believe taking settlements increases your controversy. as it's a "global" stat, no?

Do it right, nothing happens. Do it wrong, it will increase.
