Party Conviction

[Turncloak]

I have a character which has 100 optimates conviction with +0.14 and 100 populares conviction +0.44 but he remains an optimate, why is he not changing party? or will he maybe at some point?

Also is there a way to manipulate people into changing parties, since it seems like it's just luck of the draw on what stats and personality traits they have.

Pretty sure the character's conviction for the alternate party has to be greater than their current party. If they are at 100 for Optimates, then it's impossible for their conviction to change unless the value drops from 100.

You can manipulate it, but usually it's not easy as it's mostly just driven by traits and other things you only have limited control over. You'd probably only do it if there were either going to be a big pay-off, or that particular character was going to be easily swayed. You can use the tool-tip to see what is driving the conviction changes for that character (as well as others to get ideas what maybe needs to happen to the character you want to change).

I find it easier just to work around their convictions, in the same way as one does with great families.
