Hi all,
So I moved my post, from the general area to here, sorry I didnt saw that there was a suggestions subforum, that said change somethings and explained others better.
I feel that right now the way nobles behave is rather lose, they band together and conquer things to righ a way, while in warband they did take their time to conquer things or to even asembly, right now raise an army function feels quite powerfull, and I belive low tiered nobles should be able to asembly such armies.
Nobility Rankings
With this I mean, nobles to have titles based on renown and holdings they posses, once archived a rank they cant lose (even if they lose their fiefdoms), the only way is that their liege lord revokes the title, also the King decides if he grants such rank or not.
Rankings:
The funtion of this ranking is, that a Duke has several counts as his underlings, Counts have a few Barons and Barons have several Knights, that can be or not of their clans. So when They can wage war within the faction, Duke vs Duke, or Duke vs Count, per example. Also in this way other Nobles can oversee over others of lesser ranking, and not just the King doing everything by himself.
At the same time a Kingdom is divided more eviciently as it were in Middle Ages, so a Duke govern over a province, could have a system where each lord decides its taxation. Ultimatly the strife of ambisious nobles is to increase their power, so a King has to keep an eye on them if he wishes to a void a civil war.
Politics
General idea is to be able to either centrilize or desentralize power within a kingdom, in other words an Absolut Monarchy or a "Democratic" one, and to have titles or charges that are fixed to a period of time and are not hereditary, like governors, generals, senators, and so on. And if allowed for nobles to decide whom to make King, with a council or senate. Or even go as far as instead of King or Emperor a Consul for a period of time that serves instead of Marshall.
I again say that its an early access and know that several functions are not implemented yet, this thread is just to help with ideas for the game, constructive critics, comments and so are accepted.

Would also make it interesting that some powerful Dukes could end up with more power and vassals than the king himself.
