Legacy through government

[poesel71]

The manual states that you get legacy through government age.
How long does it take to see this?
What is exactly a 'state'? Do you switch states between stable and decadent or only between republic and empire (for instance)?
Are there other factors except the +35% for being glorious?

Thanks!

if you look on your nation tab and in the tables you'll see how your legacy is being made up and whether state age is contributing or not. If I recall, you need to be glorious/old or decadent and you get more depending on if you are tier I/II or III. So an old Empire gets more than a glorious tribe.

You lose some govt age (which affects decadence) by changing your name, so becoming a glorious tribe shifts as much as the move to a young Empire. But Golden Ages have no effect on this as you remain a Glorious (whatever) as your basic title.

Thanks. How old do you have to be for this effect? And how much do the different government types get? Are these numbers known?

you have to be glorious/old or decadent. The base legacy then varies if you are tier 1/2/3. The more your govt age the more legacy but the more your govt the more decadence, so you are trading the 2 off.

The values can be seen from the ledger, just scan down the list of states and you'll legacy per turn per reason, must be in the game files but not sure which ones.

I'm trying to find out where the Antigonids gets their +20 Government legacy from, They are a glorious empire, but I don't see the +20 anywhere?
Does it require any skill in RTFM to find out?
