The Statue

The Statue is a unique dilemma for the Dark Elves race introduced in Total War Warhammer II and part of the loyalty game mechanic.

This random chance dilemma can only be triggered once for a high loyalty lord and gives the player three choices with differing bonuses and effects, namely:


 * The crafted Brass Horn enchanted item in exchange for a minor temporary public order penalty
 * Moderate money payment in exchange for a moderate lord loyalty loss
 * Huge temporary income from sacking and looting settlements bonus and a major charge bonus for all armies in exchange for wounding the lord

The name of the lord that triggered this event is displayed under the dilemma name.

In-game description
"One of your Lords has arrogantly thought to erect a giant brass statue in the capital without obtaining your permission. The statue is of Hukon the Sunderer, a minor deity. To make matters worse, you can see this eyesore from your balcony. What should be done?"

Requirements

 * Player is a Dark Elves faction
 * Player has a lord with high loyalty (10)

Trigger timing

 * As soon as all requirements are met there is a random chance chance the dilemma will trigger immediately.

Option 1: Topple the statue!
"Melt it down to produce something useful. Hukon is not worshipped here."
 * Brass Horn
 * Topple the statue!
 * Turns remaining: 5
 * Public order: -5 (all provinces)

Option 2: Levy a fine

 * Loyalty: -3
 * Treasury: +2500

"Let's not risk Hukon's wrath by defacing the statue. The Lord will pay a hefty fine for this transgression instead."

Option 3: Hukon be praised!
"What a great opportunity to provide a suitable praise to Hukon? Have the Lord tied to the statue and publicly flogged!"
 * Character wounded:
 * Hukon be praised!
 * Turns remaining: 8
 * Charge bonus: +25% (all armies)
 * Income from sacking and looting settlements: +100% (factionwide)

Strategy

 * It pays off to improve lord loyalty and keep it high as this dilemma can provide a variety of bonuses and effects which can support your campaign strategy.
 * High loyalty dilemmas are triggered only once per lord so it may be helpful to consider how your choice fits in with your long term strategy.
