Paths to Glory

Paths to Glory is an Elector Politics dilemma event exclusive to The Empire racial factions (except The Huntsmarshal's Expedition) and associated with their unique Imperial Authority mechanic as one of the few ways to increase the titular Imperial Authority tier.
The player is faced with a choice between increasing Imperial Authority by investing a major amount of Prestige, or just receive a small amount of free Prestige.
Although The Empire racial factions were first introduced in Total War: Warhammer, this Elector Politics dilemma event is only available in Total War: Warhammer II.
== Flavour text ==
One of your top advisors has suggested a way to increase your political standing within the Empire. Though you do not command all military activities in faraway lands personally, it is possible to have each state’s annals updated to attribute past military victories to your own involvement and frame yourself as an inspirational military leader. To achieve this you must contact your most trusted officials in each state and pull a lot of clandestine political strings – no small feat, but the fruits of such labour could be highly beneficial to you in the long run.
==Requirements==
*Player is a The Empire racial faction (except The Huntsmarshal's Expedition)
*Player has 0 or less Imperial Authority 
==Triggers==
*As soon as all requirements are met there is a random chance the dilemma will trigger immediately.
==Options==
===Option 1: Contact trusted officials===
* Imperial Authority: +1
* Prestige: -1000
To win over the leaders, you must win over their people.
===Option 2: Do nothing===
* Prestige: +200
It sounds like a lot of effort which you have little time for; political gains can be made elsewhere.
