Send him on a crusade, have him kick аss in North Africa or the Levant, and snuff Rufus as soon as the heir is better than his Daddy.

Both of those traits can grow to make you very authoritative.īut I can see how the Pope can restrict the opportunities to be a badass.

Killing enemies in battle while getting hurt a bit makes you Brave, and killing rioters makes you a Firm Ruler.

Trying to use the damn console commands to make him better, but game doesn't recognise any input of his name. Note that if you go for a Dread authoritarian king, you'll need a plan to keep Chivalry generals loyal. Hire nasty agents, use them constantly, sack or exterminate every city you conquer personally, pump the battlefield dread trait, and you'll soon be 8-10 in Authority. If you are OK with having a Dreaded king, it's really pretty simple. There are other ways, but those come with risks like idling in a city with academic institutions, or costs, like bribing enemies, and using diplomats, or pretty much guaranteed Dread like using spies, assassins, saboteurs, etc.

Originally posted by Tuidjy:I do not know about Rufus, but with Russia the simplest ways of having an authoritative ruler are to go for the low hanging Dread traits that one gets from being a cruel leader, crushing riots and rebellions, getting injured in combat, or nurture the Eager trait the Russian bloodline comes with.
