1. Great game, great interface/graphics, great/music, great overall feel. Looking forward to playing.
2. As per title. In the tutorial, I noticed the highest ranking bride for King Malcolm, being a baroness, carried a prestige penalty, unlike other characters. It was a 0 for her house but a negative prestige score attached to her rank. The relationship between actual rank and the stated prestige for rank (baroness, courtier etc.) seemed inexplicable. I started a game as the King of Poland and my King can marry Duchess Matilda of Canossa, her overlord the Kaiser being willing to allow this. Looks like a great opportunity since she has as many vassals as my king and certainly more titles, including 3 duchies. The problem is that she's apparently not very prestigious to marry. That's a 6 for marrying into house di Canossa, which looks fair, but "-20 for marrying a Duchess". What... the...? I doubt this is WAD but please explain anyway. If this is a patchable error, I would like to know in order to be able to delay playing until patch comes out.
