Deposed Rulers

Playing as a Monarchy...is there anyway to help curtail your ruler being deposed? It seems that when a Colony Governor establishes himself, then inevitably, the ruler is overthrown...or maybe this is intended? Thanks.

The only thing that I can think of that might have an effect is to try to keep your population happier - have a decent diplomatic reputation, try to ensure that your planets have enough of all the strategic resources and three or four luxury resources, prevent pirate raids on your colonies, keep taxes relatively low, maybe a few other things like that. If everyone is already pretty happy, then I don't know that there's anything else you can do in the game.

If you're willing to mod files, I believe you can set a modifier to the leader replacement chance in [install directory]\Races\[speciesname].txt and [install directory]\governments.txt.

Thanks. All colonies have happiness of 20+ and a green smiley face...no pirate raids...the only issue you mention would be the occasional shortage of resources...hmmmm…
