The aristocrats you meet will now have their own Merits, which opens up a series of new exciting possibilities.
You will be shown how many Merits they have as soon as you meet them. These Merits will have an effect during the voting process depending on these aristocrats' affiliation (a lobby or the independent aristocracy) even before you get to met them. This is an important detail, and I have a feeling you are starting to see why it could be important to keep the people casting the votes located at all times. More on that in another post.
Until now, local aristocrats could spend the loans they asked for in expanding business or personal expenses, but now they also have a third option to spend it on a great meritorious venture that will increase their merit and thus their voting power, so that's another thing to keep in mind now.
Incidentally, in the effort to make the world livelier and less player-centric, lobbies and local aristocrats can now ask for loans to entities other than you if you can't satisfy their needs. You will be informed in-game when that happens.
The next post will probably conclude the Enhanced Local Aristocrats saga.
