An important element of the game is to make sure every race is happy. Popularity with all the races is decisive not only in terms of the units that are available during each battle, but also in terms of percentage chance of success in the case of an automatic battle. Although it is, usually, a good idea to appease the race that lives in the land in largest numbers, you shouldn't, at the same, ignore any of the races. High popularity with the entire nation will start a special storyline of three decisions, which will deteriorate your popularity with all other races but, will offer three special permanent cards, which are stronger with each decision that you take. That is why, as a rule of the thumb, it is best to gain popularity with one race, collect the cards and change sides to another race. To find out what each of the races has to say about a given amendment, you need to talk to each one of the representatives before taking any decisions. You can find your current ratings either in the newspaper or in the kingdom review. While taking your decision, try to balance them out, so that your popularity with any of the races does not fall below 30% (although, even popularity of the level of 0% will not influence the storyline in any way). You should also remember that your choices will, sometimes, have a direct influence on the game itself. The general principle (although it is not a rule) is that, if a decision costs you money, you will benefit from taking it in some other way. E.g. if you stipulate the equality of rights between men and women, you will make their pays equal but, at the same time, you will unlock some new special abilities with the female generals.
