What a character's rating is worth depends on the role they hold. This page shows the payout for every rating in every role. Normally high ratings pay off on a triangular curve. Competitive Mode (the Lower Character Yields option) makes it a linear one, through an equivalent rating of 5, so extreme ratings pay less.
- Leader gives a flat amount of the stat's signature yield, with that yield's own triangle offset.
- Governor gives a percentage boost to that yield, scaled by the triangle.
- Agent gives a percentage boost to that yield, rising linearly with the rating. See the calculator below.
- General gives a combat bonus to Crit, Defense, Attack or Unit XP, scaled by the triangle.
- Council seats (Chancellor, Spymaster, Ambassador) turn specific ratings into flat yields, scaled by the triangle with the yield's own offset. Since patch 1.0.84658 seats use these offsets, which reduced Ambassador Culture and Spymaster Science. Some seat yields are empire-wide and some are per city, marked /city in the column header. The Grand Vizier seat grants no rating yields; it runs ungoverned cities instead (see Grand Vizier Rulership).
Competitive Mode is shown by default.

Agent yields
Agents become available once a Spymaster sits on your council. You can send courtiers, Hero and Schemer characters, and clergy of a world religion into a foreign city. Clergy can only enter cities that follow their religion. Taking the job gives the character +20 opinion of you.
Each turn the agent skims the target city's base yields. Every rating takes rating × 5% of its signature yield, all four at once: Wisdom takes Science, Charisma Civics, Courage Training and Discipline Money. The agent's opinion of you scales that percentage, from −200% at Furious to +100% at Friendly: a Friendly agent yields double, an Angry one nothing. A Schemer then adds a flat +10 percentage points per yield after opinion, so it is never reduced and works even at rating 0.
"Base" means the city's yield before percentage modifiers, so the owner's percentage buildings, governor and specialists do not multiply what you take. Agent scaling is already linear, so Competitive Mode does not change it.
As in the game, percentages and the yield (to a tenth) truncate toward zero. With a negative rating the opinion scaling flips: a hostile agent hurts less and a friendly one helps less.
