How do you increase kingdom status from worried?

[Jaeger Pilot]

I know getting into a negative BP balance decrease your kingdom status, but what actually increases it? I thought having stable and increasing economy/community/etc. stats would do it, but it doesn't seem like it. So what, specifically, do you have to do?

I don't think anyone is certain but there are a couple events or projects rather to improve things and time.

Also ensuring that your advisors are not overleveled. (e.g. if your stats drop below the level of the current rank).

As you mentioned, the BP is an issue which you have covered.

You might also check region stats on a local basis. I don't know if it matters but I try to not ignore loyality/stability etc. even if the overall stats are good.

I got worried status for dipping into the negative BP for a bit, I think. I didn't notice it change my status until much later, so I can't be sure that was why. But it's kind of harsh if you can't get it back up. Or can you get it back up, just that no one really knows how? But they have seen it happen?

Very, very few options increase your kingdom Status (like low taxs, no trade taxs and so on).

But there is no way to adjust the tax when you feel like it, right? You have to wait for an advisor to randomly decide to suggest it, right?

Yup, you able to do this only once via "advisor wanna talk" events.

I remember a tax event where I could give tax breaks to a rich merchant, but I chose to tax everybody equally. But that might no be the one.

There's also a raise taxes decision for the first Economy rank up event. Lower taxes improves status while high taxes makes it worse.

I don't think I had any issues at that point, so my negative BP happened after that anyway.

you just need to have many triumphs, or spend 80k gold coins to celebrate your failures with a feast for the afflicted

That is the name of the project! ...I was drawing a blank. I believe there is one other as well...maybe it's the tax thing.

So apart from specific court room events, triumphs is the only thing that increase my rank?

i don't have the science to back this, but it sounds normal that if you triumph your people will love you more than if you only disastrously fail. Anyway, i had THE WHOLE game my situation to Worried, and i though it was the best possible, then i got Stable and i couldn't belive it... and i play with kingdom difficulty set to easy (because it's broken, and it's not the part of the game i paid for, and makes you lose the game if you make mistakes)

Had a similar issue recently. I had my people in the -2 area; an event popped up to let me up it to -1; then it just kinda climbed its way back up to 0 on its own after a while. No clue how or why or when - it just did.
Sad to admit this, but the lack of transparency in the Kingdom Management system is a sore point, even for a fan like myself.

I remember that one. Was there a point to increasing the taxes, if you don't even receive a single coin from those?

Never tried it myself, but based on the other options, it might increase your BP income at the expense of penalties to kingdom stats and unrest.

I chose the low tax option and my kingdom went from stable to serene.
