These are the most difficult achievements to unlock in Crusader Kings 3.
Here’s exactly what Legitimacy is, and how to keep it nice and high.
What Is Legitimacy?
In short, Legitimacy is a rating of how your vassals view you as a leader.
The effects of legitimacy are increased depending on your title tier, too.
What Affects Expected Legitimacy?
Expected Legitimacy determinesthe level of Legitimacy you need for your vassals to be satisfiedwith you.
This is a pretty vague and variable system, though there are some concrete aspects that affect it.
In short,the higher your title is, the higher your Expected Legitimacywill be.
How To Increase Legitimacy
Understanding how Legitimacy works is great.
Now you just have to actually gain it.
Thankfully, this isn’t actually all that difficult.
Conversely, this meansyou may have to neglect your character’s personal interests to keep the realm appeased.
Losing wars decreases Legitimacy, as does denouncing and disinheriting your Dynasty members.
Ignoring plagues that ravage your realm, and just letting them get out of hand decreases Legitimacy.
Legitimacy is basically doing the actions that are expected of a ruler.
Expand your realm, care for its people, interact with your vassals.
