NATIONAL LEADERS

Cheaper Vassalage points?

Potential for trouble when the King dies (long live the King).

Monarch "Traits" unlocked as your "buying" or representing a living person and their leadership tendencies. For example having the "Wizard" trait does not mean this ruler is a wizard, only that magic is slightly better off in the governments eyes. Pick 1-2 traits for free, with another to be bought alongside a negative trait.
