Satisfaction!!!

[JPT]

it is rather unrealistic and to much hassle

too few court position ..... too many general .......
if my general dumb and inexperience they are easily satisfied but they will most likely defeated in combat, if it the other way around the become stuck up and hard to please .....
what to do?
why can I just give my general a visit to hang out or even better just give them money to satisfied them??? after all that how the real world work, relation Vs compensation ......
and a gift or many gifts, but please not that dumb ''accessories" they are my general not my paramour ......

Promoting them gives base satisfaction + satisfaction boost for 10 turns. But it costs money, like 800 copper, and increases their salary. This is not the council area so they will still demand a seat in the council but you can give them enough promotion + wooden dogs + events and buffs to keep them happy.

Overall, I think the satisfaction management are just there to have something to be a pain in the ass. Life always have these things so why not games?!

Annoying when I have to use most of my turns money just to keep some of my officers loyal.

The promotion cost is crazy. 800 gold ish is way too much. Why cant it be 10x the salary increase ie 25 x 10 = 250 per rank promotion?

Slightly higher ranks costs 1600 gold just to promote. Freaking stupid.

my problem is when some general already have the highest rank and can not be promoted any more, when he level up at some point the general will ask for higher court position (accessories can only be given once, so it won't do any good at this point)

and that when the problem start, fewer court/ council position, too many (stuck up) general asking for court/council position

that the limit I am talking about, there should be more options to appease those higher level general .... antique, girl, booze etc .....

Then fire them. If you're at that point in the game where you're struggling to make ends meet, then fire all non-essential and disloyal officers. Administrator positions also give a nice loyalty boost.

Tech tree has -##% reduction in salary. That can give a meaningful boost.

I wonder of satisfaction impacts their performance, such as in combat or on assignmentz

no. If it dips below 25 they are likely to rebel though.

Mmmm.. I haven't had any issues with satisfaction in my Sun Jian campaign, I have 20 something generals and they all hover between 80 - 100, Ive never actually promoted any of them, Though sometimes they are hired at higher ranks.

Satisfaction balances the game a bit so you won't roundup majority of the noble pool.

There are many ways to satisfy the nobles, but always make sure to check their service history and personality traits to see if they are worth the effort. Probably the least resource consuming method is having them fight battles beside others to form friendships since it does improve their satisfaction significantly.
