每个角色都有四项属性（attributes），每项属性都有各自的值。These attributes determine how well characters perform as the 
ruler and when appointed to 
positions and can also affect various events triggers and outcomes, with higher attributes almost always better. Each attribute has a base value that is mostly accumulated over the course of a character's childhood, though it can still change during adulthood through various events and mission tasks, and then are modified by a character's traits and character modifiers.

其他效果
Researchers
The effectiveness of researchers is determined by their attribute level in the field they are assigned to. Each corresponding attribute point that the researcher has will give a 
+10% research speed to progress in that field of advances, which can have a very significant effect on how quickly a nation's technology level advances.
Government Offices
Each government office is associated with a particular attribute, and the effectiveness of a character in that office depends largely on their skill in that attribute. Unlike other positions, this effectiveness is multiplied first by the character's statesmanship level, which means that a character with lower attributes but high can still outperform, at least in the short term, a character with higher attributes but lower statesmanship.
Tribal succession
Succession in a tribal country is determined by the attributes of the other 
clan chiefs when a ruler dies or is deposed. Each attribute has the following weight when determining a clan chief's succession score:
- Martial:
+2 succession support per point - Finesse: +1 succession support per point
- Charisma: +1.5 succession support per point
- Zeal: +1 succession support per point
