Kingdom Management - Stability issues
Ok, I decided to manage the barony on my own to beef up gameplay a bit by adding this strategic element. It seems pretty much straightforward enough for me with primary stats, secondary etc - nothing too complicated.
However, something really seems to be out of balance here. You don't get a warden advisor post very erarly, in fact you get him as the second latest before unlocking the espionage guy. By that time you have multiple events affecting your baronie's stability and there are not many buildings to beef up the points for stability in the first place. By the time I have unlocked the Warden i barely managed to get him to Level 2 while top ratings for community, and economics are already at V or VI. A Warden at Rank 2 even with buffed up attributes has a base value of 10 and has to tackle events rangin at 24 and up, failing more often then succeeding,often disastrous which - in turn - further lowers your value in stability.
Really sometzhing is odd here.

What's 'odd' is you built up too slowly. Military to 60 is all that's needed to unlock Warden.

Nope, I had military 60 before going to the other world (Chapter 2 I think with the goblin village and fort) and did not have the opportunity to get the warden.

All of your extra advisor slots are filled by getting your first 5 advisors past 60. Most recent playthrough I got the storyteller first between act 2-3 and then the warden just before the bloom.

Yup, I think I put my game on a halt then.
Some of the decisions you have to make are not that obvious for a player.
I think I bumped a good deal of money to buy BPs and progress with the barony to unlock territories and build up those villages.
Before the bloom started and I had to go to the other world for the plant, I had the Outscirts and the Kamelands and just upgraded Tuskdale to a town. The Bloom events do take quite a heavy toll on your kingdom stats as they tick every few days and if you are locked in some 14 days progression yand you get out of it while thse events tick your stats are in tatters. My current stability stat is 13, whuile military is well beyond 100 and at rank 5 or 6 and I don't see any way to increase stability with a warden forced to tackle events with a DC of 24 and up with a stat value of 10.
I could let the program handle kingdom management, but it really takes out much fun of the game.
