👑 Cognomens

63 cognomens20 tracks

Every cognomen your leader can earn, grouped by track.

Each title has one requirement: a running score, each stat times its weight in the Earned by column, must reach the title's Min Score, which rises with ruler number and game speed. Legitimacy is not a second requirement. Among all the titles whose score you have reached, you hold the one with the highest Legitimacy. The Main Line rewards a broad reign and the side tracks reward specialists. To see which title you would earn, use the tracker.
