Titles are a new mechanic in the Royalty DLC. They allow the bearer to use Psychic amplifiers and Psycasts without upsetting the Empire, as well as trade with and call help from the Empire, but in exchange the bearer has an increasing number of demands to maintain their mood.

Mechanics

Titles increase in level, starting at Freeholder, increasing to Yeoman, Knight / Dame, Praetor, Baron / Baroness, and Count / Countess. Further ranks include Duke / Duchess, Consul, Stellarch, and Emperor / Empress, but these are not achievable by colonists during standard gameplay. Starting at Esquire, the title holder will start to demand certain apparel, rooms, and furniture, as well as begin to refuse to do particular types of work. These are listed in the table below.

All titles, starting at Yeoman, allow an increasing level of psycast. Yeoman allows level 1, Esquire level 2, Knight level 3, Praetor level 4, Baron level 5, and Count and above level 6. All titles allow the consumption of Lavish meals, insect jelly, milk, berries, ambrosia, chocolate, beer, go-juice, luciferium, penoxycyline, flake, psychite tea, yayo, smokeleaf joint, and wake-up. Certain titles will allow the consumption of 'simpler' meals, these are noted below.

All titles, starting at Esquire, require psycaster apparel as well as any powered armor. Titles of this and higher level also require other specific apparel choices that are listed below. Titles of Esquire and above also require a throne room, and have minimum requirements for bedrooms. These requirements include a minimum number of tiles of room area, and in many cases, a minimum impressiveness. All throne rooms require 2 braziers which must be lit. All bedrooms require a double bed. All throne and bed rooms must be fully floored (IE no soil/ground).

Note that Ascetic pawns have their unique bedroom and food requirements completely override those of their title, and thus still prefer an awful bedroom and raw or simple food. This can provide a significantly easier way to keep high level nobles in the rare instance you find a suitably skilled Ascetic. Keep in mind that the Throne Room requirements are still enforced however. Similarly Cannibal Nobles can eat human meat without penalty, and still gain the normal positive moodlets from doing so. It is currently unknown if Simple Meals with Human Meat are allowed. Lastly, Nudists are not exempt from the need to wear Noble-specific clothing, and still take the penalty from wearing any clothes at all. This results in a Nudist Noble always having a negative moodlet of some kind. A Circadian half-cycler does not negate the need for a bedroom. Couples containing one or more nobles can still share a bedroom, and should they both be nobles they can also share a throne room, however they need individual thrones and the title's usual requirements must still be met.

Some titles come with recreation limits. These, and other limits, generally remain and grow from rank to rank, such that a Baron has all the limits placed on a Praetor, and more.

Starting at Esquire, Nobles gain the ability to call in temporary reinforcements, with additional, more powerful forces being made available at Praetor and Baron. These abilities can be used for free every 45 days, or can be used before the cooldown finishes by expending Royal Favor with the Empire. Each ability calls four fully equipped pawns of the relevant type. See Empire#Pawns for details.

Decrees

Issue quests with no reward, increasingly negative moodlet if unfullfilled, positve moodlet +6 if fullfilled.

Additional footnote : Do NOT make a very important pawn too high of a rank as it might cause your colony to run into issues, Make sure you also have the materials/food/room requirements for the nobles that you are promoting yourself or having from quests as they will quickly have mental breaks and tantrums.
