Viziers

Viziers are your officers or heroes in this game. They take responsibility in performing a lot of the tasks to run your empire. Basically, their power is your power. So to get stronger in the game, you'll need to make upgrades on them. To do this, you'll want to visit the viziers button at the bottom tab in the main screen. As you get there, you'll see the collection of viziers you currently have.

(when you select the vizier button from the main hub, you'll see this window that displays your collection of viziers. You can pick between the tabs as marked on the image above, to sort them by how you need them. Also, notice that the levels of the viziers are easily found on top of their avatar as encircled on the image.)

Each vizier has its own special strength. The first you have by default "Piyale" is useful on every stuff but doesn't really specialize in one field. Apart from this, as you get new viziers, you'll notice that they have their own talents - or specialties. Some are heavily invested on military use, other are for research, and others as diplomats for your foreign relations. It is a must to know what stuff a vizier is good at in order to use the appropriate tomes that will benefit them most. What benefits them most means you get the most out of them, and you get the most power out of them too.

Mainly though, what you'll be doing to increase their power (which directly affects your overall power as well), is to level them up. To level up a vizier, you'll simply need gold. You can do this manually (one level at a time) or perform 10 level upgrade at a time. 10 level up is faster as long as you have enough resources to proceed with the upgrade. However, you wont get the chance to earn bonus attributes unlike when performing leveling manually.

(when you get a new vizier, you'll usually see the talents that it has. Also, each talent has a level indicated by the stars on them. You can improve on these individually, but the main reason they are showcased is for you to know how to appropriately give them relative tomes.)

When you click on a specific vizier among your list, you'll see a specialized window that will let you perform particular upgrades on the vizier you picked. The default tab "Details" you'll see is the one that will let you level them up and show you the current attributes the viziers has. The image below shows the example when you pick a vizier you want to level up.

1. Shows the Military Strength of the Vizier - imparts on the overall strength/attribute of the vizier, as well as impact its strength in the battles themselves (especially when used on one-on-one battles with bosses).

2. Shows the Research Strength of the Vizier - impacts the trade levies -- meaning the higher it is, the better volume of Gold resources you get to collect in the Imperial Parliament (by clicking on Ahmelek).

3. Shows the Politics Strength of the Vizier - impacts the trade levies -- meaning the higher it is, the better volume of Grain resources you get to collect in the Imperial Parliament (by clicking on Ahmelek).

4. Shows the Prestige Strength of the Vizier - impacts the trade levies -- meaning the higher it is, the better volume of Soldier resources you get to collect in the Imperial Parliament (by clicking on Ahmelek).

5. Special Attributes Info - shows the special attributes that the vizier has -- from either winning in PvPs, or from getting a compatible consort and upgrading the skills of that pertaining consort.

6. Level Up by 10's toggle switch - toggles between manual leveling and leveling by 10 levels.

7. Level-up Button - lets you perform a level up on the particular vizier as long as you have the gold to use on it.

8. General Attribute - the combination of all the attributes that the vizier has. To see a more detailed breakdown of this value, click the "i" button on the left.

9. Upgrade Tabs - you can shift between these tabs to perform the different upgrades on your vizier. Each one has its special way to increase your vizier's effectiveness like for instance; "Details" lets you level up you vizier, "Develop" lets you improve on its talents, "Rewards" mainly lets you use special tomes to improve their attributes by a certain value (depending on the tome used), And bonus lets you see which consorts (and their skill) affects or imparts bonus on the pertaining vizier.
