63 cognomens20 tracks

A regnal title has one gate: a cumulative score — Σ stat × weight (aiStatValue) — that must clear the title's threshold (iMinValue, scaled up by ruler number and game speed). iLegitimacy is not a second bar: it's the rank. Among every title whose score you've cleared, you hold the one with the highest legitimacy. The Main Line rewards all-round rule; the side tracks reward specialists.
