Official Titles

Awarding official titles is not just a matter of story progression, but a key mechanism in human resource management used to control the Loyalty of Warriors. Its details and importance in a broader context are as follows:

1. Mechanism of Loyalty

Each warrior has a Loyalty value from 0 to 100, which players must maintain through assigning titles and rewards:

• Title levels: Titles in the game are divided into 5 Ranks.
• Reward efficiency: Giving the lowest rank title without gold increases Loyalty by 10-14 points, while giving a small amount of gold (1-10) increases it by only 0-4 points.
• Special exploit: Players can repeatedly give titles without assigning a rank and without gold to raise Loyalty to 100 without spending real resources.

2. Relationship Between Level and Title

Official titles become more important as warriors become stronger:

• Loyalty decreases with level: As a warrior's rank increases, Loyalty naturally tends to decrease.
• Higher requirements: To maintain high-level warriors, players need to give more prestigious or higher-ranking titles to compensate for lost Loyalty.

3. Roles and Administrative Efficiency

Assigning titles not only affects morale but also improves the efficiency of running the empire through four main roles:

• Public Security Officer: Warriors in this role in populous cities need high Loyalty and appropriate levels to maintain order and prevent riots.
• Science Officer: Accelerates research of over 100 technologies at the national university.
• Sacrifice Officer: Required for conducting national rituals in temples.
• Administrative Officer: Improves the overall efficiency of buildings.

4. Risk of Defection

In the context of war, maintaining Loyalty through titles prevents strategic losses:

• Defection: Warriors with low Loyalty may choose to surrender or switch sides.
• Supply impact: Loyalty is affected by the supply system. If a warrior's Strength drops to zero, Loyalty begins to decrease even if morale is still high. Thus, giving titles to sustain Loyalty during supply shortages is crucial.

In summary, the official title system in Dragon Throne is a "risk and progress management tool" that forces players to balance governance power (warrior levels) with rewards (titles and gold) to ensure the empire runs steadily and without betrayal.
