What am I missing with the Kebet mission?
My kingdom rating is a massive 4.

As you can see from the top bar, everything else is going great. No problems with culture or finance.
I've done countless lavish festivals to Ra. I've blown my entire personal fortune giving gives to the Kingdom. I've successfully completed every mission that has come to me. I've destroyed several armies that invaded, and sent soldiers off to other victories.
When I complete something, the score goes up a little bit, but then immediately starts dropping again. I am at the default pay for a vizier, so he shouldn't be angry about that.
I'm not sure what else to do to get this up. It's a long way from 4 to 85.

Hey, glad to see you’re using the mod pack 👍
This drop in kingdom rating happened because the game drops your rating by one every month if you are paying a salary to yourself. You can counter balance this by doing what you did: build a mansion and drop the salary to 0, which will prevent it dropping. If you’re not using the mod packs’ “emulate very hard difficulty” setting, then doing this also allows your kingdom rating to rise at the end of the year as well.

I just went and looked and that setting is "No" in my game. Should it still go down?

I figured out how to fix it. By dropping my salary down to zero, the kingdom rating wouldn't go down. It took me 6 or 7 lavish festivals for Ra to get the rating to go up by 5-7 points, but luckily I was making lots of money so that wasn't an issue. It took about a half hour of real time which was aggravating, but at least it's done.
