Other then the Status bonus what other benefit does an invested leader grant?

On page 515 of the adventure page, under the description of the key ability score for leadership roles it stats to following:
“Since status bonuses don't stack (see Attempting Kingdom Skill Checks on page 515), you may want to invest one role that benefits each of the 4 kingdom abilities-but since each leadership role offers other unique benefits to the kingdom, spreading out the roles in that way may not always be the best choice!”
I have been looking throughout to book and I cant seem to find any other benefit of having an invested leader, other then the Status bonus. I’m I missing something?


You're not missing anything, Invested roles only give a status bonus. See also this thread: Companions in Leadership Roles

Certain leader roles get bonuses to resolving Kingdom events (if that role is filled by a PC).

Which has nothing to do with whether the role is Invested or not, just if a PC holds it.

Same question here. We could not figure out the point of this mechanic. Since the bonus would not stack and you got got 4 leaders to invest you always would choose positions in which every Ability is covered.

Did we miss something here or is there another reason to invest the Treasurer AND Viceroy (since both have culture as key ability and the bonus would only be applied once)?
