@ Toaw: A sexy sheet like that can't be refused. Like how it's turning out. Welcome aboard.

@ So Boerd: Toaw is correct, the fiefs you make will be split among your vassals. I was hoping to keep it a surprise, but I suppose I forgot the part where it might actually be important to know how much land you will control (the nerve of some people!). I will say that, except for very large or very small nations, the player will keep 60% of the land created, rounded down in the event of a decimal. So, if you have 10 fiefs, 4 will be given to vassals. These fiefs will be chosen at random, with up to two requested fiefs being left off the table.

@ Titanic: No single player, at the game's start, will have the resources to raise or buy a force remotely close to any army either the Ordained or Baccans could raise. Attacking Mishfarden would only give some Lord an excuse to mount a fresh campaign of pillage in Lundland. Offering your services as a mercenary would be feasible, and so might an alliance, but obtaining land in Mishfarden would be another matter entirely.

You Lords might call yourselves Kings, but to others Lundland is the kingdom, and you are just another one of its petty vassals.
