(Archived) Political Doctrines

This system has been removed, this page only exists for Archive purposes

Information:

A Political Doctrine is a focus a faction chooses or is forced to choose. Some of these doctrines can give benefits other can give debuffs.

When a faction chooses a Doctrine it will show others what it is focusing on in that time period.

If your faction chooses a Doctrine it cannot change it for a Month, Meaning whatever debuffs or buffs they have they will be stuck with those for the time being.

All Vassals will be forced to follow their overlords Doctrine.
