So, ye've heard the whispers in the taverns, have ye? The Holy Roman Empire is choosin' a new emperor, and there's plunder to be had for a savvy captain like yerself. Mark this well: every four months, two nobles clash for the throne. Your task? Pick a side and back 'em with coin.
Why trouble yerself with land-lubber politics? The winner showers his supporters with benefits—special favors that last from a fortnight to near two moons, depending on how deep your purse goes. I've seen Charles V offer fine perks for those who hunt, build ships, or brave the Sea of Wonders. A single coin tossed his way secures his favor if he wins.
How to Know & Where to Go
Keep a weather eye on your status message; it'll announce when the election begins. When it does, ye'll be needin' to buy Support Permits from a merchant guildmaster. The heart of the matter is in Frankfurt—that's where the real combos be made.
The True Bounty
Forget the baubles. The real treasures worth the gamble are few:
- The Fidelity Hat (for the Imperturbable advice combo)
- A Pegasus Feather (for the Rare Sage combo)
- The Gown of Nobility (for the Realist combo)
To forge these combos, ye must pour over 100 million ducats into your chosen candidate's war chest in Frankfurt. There's also a fine Consultant's Hat for the top ten investors on the winnin' side.
So, will ye just watch from the docks, or will ye step into the game of crowns and claim your share? The choice is yours, matey.
If ye hunger for the full chart—every secret step and strategy to navigate these political waters—then make way to the complete guide. I'll show ye how to seize this bounty proper.
