The CROWNS system
Modification of the Crowns in the SSHIP
A Crown is an ancillary acquired by a Faction Leader that rules a large kingdom and fulfills certain conditions. It provides many benefits for the player. There are two major: one is that it increases the range the generals can function without loss of Loyalty due to the distance from the capital, the second is that the unrest in the settlements is more-or-less half of it's value as otherwise. Thus having a crowned ruler is (or will be) indispensable for a player that builds a large empire in the SSHIP.

Please note: in the SS6.4 and SSHIP 0.92 the crowns were included but for many of them the triggers are faulty making it impossible to be gained (see descriptions in this thread of what's needed to be modified - it's always against the backdrop of 0.92). A discussion on the design of the crowns has been ongoing in this thread for 1,5 years and, on this basis, the changes were made in 2020 for SSHIP version 0.97.
Given that version included in the v. 097 contained conditions only with cathedral / jama building requirements. In the v.098 the unique buildings as the requirements are being gradually phased with the view that eventually each faction will have its own requirement. The descriptions in this thread are being updated accordingly.
