Does anyone know if capturing a nation's warships results in a time frame - perhaps a few months - when that nation won't promote you?
I'm aware of the general promotion system - happy/very happy as +1 or +2 (or -1 / -2 if you're attacking a nation's ships) - but I *think* that I've seen attacking a nation's warships has an impact even beyond that math. Seems like doing so created a time window during which the nation wouldn't promote me - even as I racked up more than enough overall favor points - followed by a big land grant when I finally did get promoted.
I know that some of the commenters here have in-depth knowledge of the game's mechanics/code, so thanks in advance to anyone who can answer this question.
P.S. - I'm aware of additional favor/disfavor with a specific governor. I think, though, that I've seen this delay happen with governors even when I haven't attacked warships near their city (as recorded in the Captain's log). |
