SP - General Companion skills and perks in Relation to Settelment Governance

[Sir Squirrel]

In my latest save file I really took a look a look at governor perk. And i noticed that the most useful governor perks are way at the end of a perk tree (which is understandable).
So, I couldn't think a lot of ways to train/level their Social skills like Charm, Leadership, etc. where there are some good governor perks at the high 200's.
With that in mind, if we can assign a governor to a settlement, we could also assign other position similar to a party.

Settlement positions could something be like:
Governor: Stewardship & Charm
Taskmaster: Engineering and Trade
Spymaster: Scouting & Roguery
Captain of the Guard: Leadership & Tactics

This could give companions a purely supporting role.

I like this suggestion

Spymaster could be a Clanrole of some kind. They don't operate in a single owned settlement but rather in settlements NOT owned by own clan.

I´m a little in doubt if multiple roles should be allowed in every fief.

What if Governor, Taskmaster and Captain is a Settlement-policy of some kind? The assigned steward/governor will gain experience in the areas stated by the settlement-policy.

...on the other side, if it requires 3 persons to sucessfully operate a fief, it could make a fun playthrough AI kings might wish to spread the fiefs among more vassals, available candidates for the posts could influence who is among the candidates in the voting etc..

Assigning a companion to a role is not must. You could leave your settlements and castle without a governor without any demerits, but assigning one gives merits (and some demerits based on that governor's culture). So in a way, it's like assigning a companion to fix a problem.

Low Security? Assign your battle-hardened companion as the Captain
What the town projects to speed up? Leave your Engineer.

Something like that. The positions are not mandatory but can be a means to help alleviate an issue or boost the town growth.

I know.

Or both. Or all of them, for maximum merits!

Which of them should give the wrong culture malus though? All of them maybe...
