Titles

Titles are a mechanic introduced in the Royalty DLC, representing power and prestige from the Empire. 
== Summary == 
Titles are obtained by spending Honor, the currency of the Royalty system. Honor is offered as a quest reward, or can be purchased from Royal Tribute Collector caravans in exchange for either gold or prisoners. 
Titles come with demands. From the title of Acolyte onwards, the title holder will start to demand certain apparel, a proper throne room, and more prestigious bedrooms. There are also limits on recreation. Empire guests and colonists with certain traits will be conceited and have more demands. In exchange, the empire will grant increasing levels of Psylink, and give you access to Permits.
Titles are retained if you become hostile to the empire faction, though using permits is disabled until relations are restored. Titles can be renounced at the pawn's Bio screen.
Special Traits:
*Ascetics do not have royal demands, overriding the clothing and bedroom needs entirely. They'll need a throne in an enclosed room, but do not care if throne requirements are unmet. However, their throne room's Impressiveness will affect their mood, positively or negatively. Note that Ascetics will need to meet throne requirements to get their title, and that the meditation effectiveness of the throne remains improved by meeting the title requirements.
*Pawns with the Nudist and Cannibal traits prefer being nude or eating human meat over their title requirements.
*Slaves can be given Honor, and will rank up as usual, with the same clothing and room requirements. However, they are unable to use permits, and slavery overrides conceited pawns' inability to work. There is a bug where slaves in a caravan can use their permits.
=== Conceited pawns ===
Pawns that are guests from, or are recruited from, the Empire faction, and those with the Greedy, Jealous, or Abrasive traits, are Conceited and will have greater royal demands. They will refuse to do work of certain types, and will only eat certain types of food. Conceited nobles that eat food not in their allowed list will receive . Note that hemogen packs count as food for this purpose, even when being consumed for hemogen and not saturation.
Barons or Archons (and higher) will replace their regular expectation moodlets with a and penalty, respectively.
The game will show a popup warning if you attempt to give a conceited pawn royal honor.
===Honor===
Honor is a direct reward for empire quests that gives access to the empire's titles. Selling gold, prisoners, or slaves to a royal tribute collector also gives Honor. The pawn that does the selling gets the honor.
Social skill or other social factors do not affect honor gain, but the pawn has to be capable of Social in order to initiate trade.
*Selling prisoners or slaves gives 3 honor per pawn. They must be able to walk while being sold, but no other qualities matter. This gives the regular penalties for selling humans.
**It is possible to use the painblock psycast to temporarily make a pawn mobile, then rescue the now-Empire pawn for a goodwill boost.
*Gold gives 0.015 point of Honor per gold item, rounded down. Therefore, the amount of gold per honor:
Gold Spent	Honor	Equiv. Market Value
67 	1 	
134 	2 	
200 	3 	
== Bestowing ceremony ==
The lowest title, Freeholder, is automatically 'purchased' as soon as a pawn earns his first point of Honor. Any further titles must be obtained through the bestowing ceremony.
A colonist with enough honor for a new title can accept the received quest to invoke the bestower, a ceremonial priest-like figure who arrives by shuttle with a retinue of guards. To accept the quest, the pawn to be bestowed must have a throne room that meets the requirements, even if they themselves do not care about it. There is no room requirement for Freeholder and Novice ranks. The bestowing ceremony will be performed in the throne room assigned to the pawn to be bestowed upon. If the throne room no longer meets requirements, or is unassigned from the pawn, then the quest will fail and the bestower will return home. If no such room is available, the bestower will instead attempt to find a party spot and failing that pick a social gathering spot. The ceremony itself gives the psylink upgrade and title. The bestower carries 2 psylink neuroformers; if you wish, you may down, arrest, or kill the bestower to steal them. Bestowers will leave if they are exposed to dense tox gas or rot stink.
If the quest fails for any reason except promotion to a higher rank, it will reoccur after a period of time.
If you receive enough honor to qualify for a higher title, then the lower title's bestowing ceremony will be skipped entirely. Note that this can result in lost opportunities to gain honor from the skipped ceremonies, but you will still receive all of the missed psycasts that you would have gotten if you hadn't skipped the lower titles.
The ceremony is considered a ritual and its outcome affects colonist mood. It can also grant extra honor based on ritual quality, up to a maximum of 3 honor at >90% quality. Quality is determined by participant count and room impressiveness. This is independent from the actual outcome.
Ritual Quality	0%	30%	60%	90%
Honor Gained 	0 	1 	2 	3

=== Inheritance ===
Titles from Acolyte onwards are able to be inherited. Heirs are automatically assigned, with additional weight towards spouses. They can be changed from a comms console; in order for heirs to actually change, you must complete a monument quest. Failure to complete the quest in time gives a goodwill penalty and causes no change.
When a noble dies, the heir will automatically gain the Freeholder title, if they didn't already have honor. They must begin a bestowing ceremony to obtain their proper rank. Should the noble be resurrected, the title is lost, even if the bestowing ceremony hasn't begun yet.
==Titles==
For a full list of titles and their requirements, see #Table of Requirements.
*Freeholder (1 honor): The Imperial title of freeholder is used by the Empire to signifies a fully-respected individual. Most Imperial citizens earn it while young through volunteer work or military service. The title is also offered to outsiders who act with honor in the eyes of the Empire.
*Novice (7 honor): The Imperial title of novice is held by those who have recently been initiated into the ranks of the psychic cult. It gives the holder the right to use low-level psychic abilities as part of their learning. This title is often held by senior soldiers, warskiff pilots, spies, advisors, diplomats, intrusion operatives, and other key individuals. Many important people spend their entire lives as novices.
*Acolyte (13 honor): The title of acolyte is the first title of senior learners in the psychic cult, and encompasses a wide range of practical positions. Some acolytes are purely students, learning to lead troops, manage societies, or use psycasts in specialized schools. Others come from wealthy families and might own city buildings or farm complexes. During wartime, an acolyte might lead a platoon of troops, captain a small frigate, or serve their liege as an advisor.
*Knight/Dame (21 honor): The title of knight is held by agents of the psychic cult who have fully passed their training, but who have not ascended to higher leadership roles. Many knights never advance further, and spend their lives as respected warriors, advisors, or commanders. In war, some knights lead troop companies and assault squadrons, while psychic-focused knights engage in espionage, sabotage, and battlefield psychic combat.
*Praetor (31 honor): The title of praetor is denotes a member of the psychic cult who carries out field mission in a more senior role than a mere knight. During peacetime, a praetor will usually manage a city district, asteroid sector, or agricultural region. During war, they take authority over the smallest independent combat units - terrestrial troop cohorts, or space-borne destroyers or combat groups.
*Baron/Baroness (45 honor): The title of baron is the lowest of the psychic lords who can act as a semi-independent ruler. Most barons are subordinate to a higher lord. In the Empire, a baron will typically own a city sector, mining colony, or similar outfit. At wartime, a baron may captain a capital ship in name, or control a regiment of troops.
*Archon (65 honor): The title of archon is middle rank among the independent members of the psychic cult. In peacetime, an archon may rule to a city or colony. A successful archon might have a small personal fleet, possibly including capital ships.
===Unobtainable===
These titles cannot be obtained without the use of mods.
*Dominus: The Imperial title of dominus is the highest of the middle-ranked independent rulers. In the Empire, domini control provinces, mega-cities, or moons. At war, a dominus can field a division-level force, or a fleet with capital ships and dozens of support craft.
*Consul: The Imperial title of consul is a lower level of high nobility. In the Empire, consuls control planets. At war, a consul can usually field an army-sized force of multiple divisions, supported by several fleets. Some command from a super-capital ship or control space-based megastructures. (Note: Consul is only obtainable if Stellarch is converted to your colony as a colonist.)
*Stellarch: The Imperial title of stellarch represents dominion over an entire star system. In the Empire, since interstellar travel times are years long, stellarchs rule their systems with a great degree of independence. They each swear fealty to the Emperor, but since the Emperor may be many light-years away, a stellarch may go years or decades without interacting with him.
*Emperor/Empress: The Imperial title of emperor indicates sovereign dominion over the entire Empire, all its peoples, planets, and fleets. All other lords swear fealty to a high lord, while the Emperor swears fealty to no one. However, even the Emperor depends on the support of lower nobles to remain in power. (Note: The emperor is never seen in the normal game.)
==Requirements==
For a full list of requirements per title, see #Table of Requirements.
=== Thrones and Bedrooms ===
Titles of Acolyte and above require a throne room and separate bedrooms. Both rooms must be fully floored, and higher ranks will require all fine floors. As with non-titled pawns, couples can share a bedroom without penalty, regardless of either partners level of nobility. Unlike non-titled pawns however, nobles will object to sharing a room with a baby.
Any number of nobles can share a throne room, though they need individual thrones. A Circadian half-cycler does not negate the desire for a bedroom, though pawns won't sleep in it. 
As the titles increase in honor, so does the minimum requirement. Greater titles have an increasing minimum # of floor tiles, Impressiveness, and require specific furniture.
For the purposes of the throne room requirement, they cannot have beds, workstations, ritual buildings from Ideology, or any building under the Biotech tab. However, they can function as Impressive recreation and dining rooms, giving your entire colony a mood buff. The meditation throne itself also functions as a chair, but the grand meditation throne can only be used for meditation and television watching.
Ascetic pawns do not have to meet bedroom requirements at all. They won't care if their throne doesn't meet requirements. However, they must have a suitable throne room to actually receive their title, and they will have reduced psyfocus from a throne if requirements aren't met.
=== Clothing requirements ===
Nobles of a rank that desire clothing will experience a "Want <TITLE>-specific apparel" thought to their mood if any of their requirements are not met. For ranks that require a specific quality, a separate stacking a "Want <TITLE>-quality apparel" thought is applied if the items worn are not of the required quality.
Clothing requires that a noble is covered in suitable apparel, i.e. that all body parts have an associated apparel. For example, Archons (and below) can suffice with a cape and any suitable headgear, or the combination of headgear and formal shirt, formal vest / corset, and prestige robe.
The Nudist trait overrides the clothing requirement, and Ascetic pawns ignore it.
===Food requirements===
Conceited nobles will refuse to eat certain foods, with fewer items being acceptable as the ranks increase. In general, all conceited nobles can eat lavish meals, milk, and other delicacies like insect jelly and chocolate. Ranks lower than Baron can eat fine meals normally. If a noble is starving, then they will eat the meal at a mood penalty. Non-conceited nobles have no such restrictions.
Conceited Cannibal nobles can eat human meat without penalty, and gain the normal positive moodlets from doing so. However, they still refuse to eat improper meals that include human meat, and when eating said meals, they will not get the benefit from the Cannibal trait. Sanguophages and other Hemogenic nobles can bloodfeed, but can't consume hemogen packs.
===Work restrictions===
Conceited nobles will refuse to do certain work types; the restriction increases with each title. Conceited pawns up to Archon will continue to do Doctor, Warden, Art, and Research work, but higher ranks can't do anything outside of combat. Non-conceited nobles have no such restrictions, as are nobles who are enslaved.
==Perks==
===Psylink===
Every title, from Novice onward, grant an increase of 1 Psylink level. If a pawn already matches their title's respective level (from psylink neuroformers or anima tree linking), then no new levels will be given.
The bestower will implant a psylink neuroformer during the noble's bestowing ceremony, but they come with two. It is possible to arrest the bestower for an extra level, but this makes the empire faction hostile to you. If they are downed for other reasons (like heatstroke), you will still lose goodwill.
=== Permits ===
Nobles that have reached Acolyte or higher will gain access to Permits. One permit is awarded for every title from Acolyte onwards, for a maximum of five permits for Archons. Higher titles will give access to stronger permits. These can include item drops, immediate support, or even direct bombardments. Permits have a cooldown; if used during it, there is an Honor cost. A pawn can't demote themselves to use a permit again.
Once picked, permits stay with your pawn, and can't be freely changed. You can return all permits and re-assign them again; this costs 8 honor and the costs of any permit currently in cooldown. New permits won't have a cooldown, as the cost has been paid.
You can't use permits if the empire faction is hostile from you. Enslaved nobles and guests from the Empire are also unable to use permits. If an NPC noble is captured, they will come with randomly assigned permits.
Permits are lost when titles are, such as upon revocation and death, inheritance, and resurrection.
Permit Name 	Prerequisite 	Cooldown(Days)	Honor Cost<Br>(to ignore cooldown)	Description 	Equiv. Value
Call transport shuttle 	Knight/Dame 	40   	8 	Call a one-way shuttle for your own use, which will transport colonists, items, and animals up to 70 tiles away.The shuttle can hold a total of 1000kg on a loaded map, but as of 1.2.2900 it ignored this weight limit for caravans. 	N/A
Call laborer team 	Acolyte 	60 	4 	Call a group of 4 laborers to assist you for 4 days. They are fully controllable, and their equipment can be changed freely. They are always incapable of violence, animals work, social and research; sometimes other tasks are restricted by backstories. Each laborer death nominally causes a loss of 12 goodwill but this is not actually applied as of 1.4.3704. When downed or killed, laborers deduct adaptation days as if they were full colonists. Useful for menial labor, but also no worse in combat than any other violence-incapable meat shield, with the added advantages of being perfectly expendable and occasionally having robust or pain-resistant xenotypes.	N/A
Call laborer gang 	CountLaborer Team 	60 	8 	As Call laborer team, but twice the headcount.Loses access to laborer team. 	N/A
Call aerodrone strike 	Knight/Dame 	45 	6 	Call a single-impact aerodrone strike at a target position. 45 tile range, 3 tile miss radius, 8 tile explosion radius, 50 Bomb damage, warmup time. 	
Call aerodrone salvo 	Praetor Aerodrone Strike 	60 	8 	Call an extended salvo of aerodrone strikes around a target position. 45 tile range, 8 tile miss radius, 6 tile explosion radius, 50 Bomb damage, warmup time. 6 rounds with between them.Loses access to aerodrone strike 	
Call trooper squad 	Acolyte 	40 	4 	Call a group of 4 light troopers to aid you in battle, who can't be controlled. They will refuse to attack pawns that are not enemies to the Empire. 	N/A
Call janissary squad 	Praetor 	50 	6 	Call a group of 4 professional janissaries to aid you in battle. As troopers otherwise. 	N/A
Call cataphract squad 	Count/Countess Janissaries	60 	8 	Call a group of 4 heavy cataphracts to aid you in battle. As troopers otherwise.Loses access to janissary squad. 	N/A
Steel drop 	Acolyte 	45 	4 	Call for a drop of 250 steel. 	
Glitterworld medicine drop	Baron/Baroness 	45 	8 	Call for a drop of 5 glitterworld medicine. 	
Silver drop 	Knight/Dame 	45 	6 	Call for a drop of 500 silver. 	
Food drop 	Acolyte 	45 	4 	Call for a drop of 20 packaged survival meals. 	
: Roughly equivalent to a Doomsday rocket launcher
: Inferior, but most closely equivalent, to an Orbital bombardment targeter
===Speeches===
At Praetor rank, Nobles gain the ability to give speeches. This ability is manually triggered by the player. These speeches have a cool down, require an assigned throne, and cannot happen while another gathering is happening. Speeches last or 4 in-game hours. 
A speech grants attendees a moodlet and changes the listener's opinion of the speaker, both proportional to the success of the speech:
*A "Terrible Speech" will grant a -12 negative mood to attendees and a -30 opinion of the speaker. 
*An "Uninspiring Speech" will grant a -4 negative mood to attendees and a -15 opinion of the speaker. 
*An "Encouraging Speech" will grant a +4 positive mood and a +20 opinion of the speaker. 
* An "Inspirational Speech" grants a +8 to mood and a massive +40 opinion of the speaker. Each listener has a 5% chance of getting an inspiration.
Both Social skill and Social Impact can greatly improve success, but the exact relationship is unknown. Wear top hats, coronets, and other royal items that increase social impact.
The cooldown between uses of the speech ability varies by rank. At Praetor rank this cooldown is or 20 in-game days. At Baron rank this cooldown is or 15 in-game days. At Archon rank or higher, this cooldown is or 10 in-game days.
===Trading===
A rank of Knight/Dame is required to trade with an empire faction base or trade caravan.
A rank of Baron/Baroness or higher is required to trade with the empire's trade ships.
=== Decrees === 
Nobles will sometimes issue quests with no reward except for a positive moodlet of +6 to the noble when fulfilled under ?? conditions. The noble that issued the decree  will experience an increasingly negative moodlet if the quest remains unfulfilled, starting at -?? and increasing by ?? after ??. Conversely, they will experience a positive moodlet of +6 if fulfilled. Decrees demand things such as producing, harvesting, or killing a certain amount of things.
Dying, being kidnapped, or renouncing a title ends any current decrees as of 1.1.2579.

==Trivia==
The royal favor icon is reminiscent of the head of the eltex staff carried by the Bestower. This is fitting, since the bestower grants the received titles to the pawn.
If the map is polluted enough, the bestower will come with a gas mask instead of their usual headgear.
