[@Kho] You'll have control over anyone coming from your province, but since we only play at court, this only means the adviser. You might send letters to your province asking for certain forms of support and you can type up the reaction of receiving this letter for example. In agreement with the GM, this support can be given yay or nay. There are certain rules and regulations for each province as we start the RP. At times there will be council meetings where these rules and regulations get reviewed again. If you have managed to influence the king, perhaps he's willing to change these rules in favor for your province, making it stronger, and able to grand your character more support. Later, when existential threats also arise, the focus will shift from the court to... some places else. Then you'll be able to take control of other characters of your province as well.
