[IDEA] Castles and Manors

[fargoniac]

I had an idea for how to represent the nobility ranks below Baron. There would be 3 new building trees, Manor(Castle), Manor(City), and Castle(Small). You could build these and grant them to unlanded nobles as Honourary Titles. They would work like Baronies except they are buildings (i.e a lord of a manor could marry, deal with sucession, and everything else a landed feudal noble could do). The only limit to the number of these "mini-holdings" would be the province "size" or max number of mini-holdings.

There is a mod out there that lets you grant "estates" which is basically what you are suggesting.

1)Yes, but I think this system would be better.
2)Paradox Interactive people are on the forums, so if they see it as a good idea, they might implement it.

I'll throw in a vote for this. Plus it would give a sort of excuse to make Barons (like the 1066 start von Hohenzollerns) playable, given that they'd now have nobility below them.

The problem with making Barons playable is that giving all the Barons on the map a court of their own would be too much stress for the game to handle. Imagine having to calculate probably around twice as many characters every tick, if not more.

Make less courtiers, and make every single one much more critical.

What mod?

It really depends on how many vassals this baron can have. 3? 4? 5? For every vassal they can have it goes up. If they just have 2 vassals you would be dealing with three times as many characters in the game.

Outside of new honorary titles I don't see what purpose this would serve, and new honorary titles can be implemented in much more resource-friendly ways than this.

Ths would 1)Allow fore more roleplay and immersion and 2)Work well with all characters having COA's (Knights system).
