One adult character activated = 1 political point (PP)
Child activated = 0 political point
You can activate 5 characters maximum, it's better to activate the max…
Abilities for characters appear at 14-year-old.
If the character has no title, no money, there is no consequence to activate or deactivate him.
If the character has money, it appears as the money you can spend to pay your armies, to improve your lordships, to use in treaties. If the character has title, don't deactivate him (sometimes it doesn't matter, it's up to you, but often it's going to be a cheat…).
Characters have abilities, so it's sometimes better to activate one character than another.
For exemple, activate an energetic character gives you 1 more PP. A popular character owning lordship titles increase the morale of these lordships. An econome character increases his money every year, so it can be a good choice to activate him and give him all your money.
