Favor Skilled Outsiders

Bring foreign talent to your Court at the cost of scandalizing your Vassals

variesPrestigeLegacy of Persia

There are those in my administration who hold commanding positions they have little aptitude for — yet talented lessers are left to languish beneath a thick layer of ineptitude and mediocrity, simply because they seem foreign to the … noblesse like myself. Why should so many of my finest subjects rise no higher in my service?
