With careful tending, however, a constitutional monarchy's cabinet can eventually be just as competent as that of an absolute monarchy.Ĭonstitutional monarchies enjoy a large bonus to diplomatic relations with other constitutional monarchies, but suffer a small penalty with both absolute monarchies as well as republics.
Government popularity depends on a variety of reasons, including satisfaction with taxes, successes and failures with wars, and popularity of ministers within the cabinet.Īs whole cabinets may not be replaced at will (as is the case for an Absolute Monarchy), constitutional monarchies may only gradually improve their cabinets over time. Players may force an election once per turn the less popular the current cabinet is, the more likely it would be replaced by a new one. Should cabinet members die, they are replaced by their sons. The cabinet may be re-elected for a potentially infinite number of times. The cabinet is elected through popular vote, and serve for five years (10 turns) before another election. The head of a constitutional monarchy is the king, who sits for life and is replaced by a biological heir.
