So the DD concerning Japan talked about house blocs and cohesion. I have a feeling that cohesion could be used in many other mechanics, especially with the screenshot showing “Type”.
- Confederation. House bloc is inspired by confederation, so confederation could borrow from it. It now feels too easy to elevate confederations, even for AI.
- Political Movements. We can not assume these factions are always united. A disunited faction is a weak faction, vice versa.
- Kingdoms/Empires. especially tribal ones.
- Realms with high cohesion would receive defender advantage.
- Tribes/Nomads with low cohesion would dissolve.
- Admin realms with quite low cohesion would fall back to feudal/clan.
- Only with enough cohesion can a ruler attain high authority.
