I keep thinking i don't care about this game anymore and blogs like this suck me back in. Seems like sticking with one faction could be a lot more interesting seeing as i can end up as king. I always hated gaining a bunch of land for a faction and then having to take it back again once i leave. Also if there is a voting system, it will be more worthwhile to gain relationship with many different lords/clans in a specific faction. I assume that will get you more votes. I'm curious if there is separate reputation for clan and lords or if it would be a average of all the reputation of all the lords in a clan. Would gaining reputation then be the only way you can subvert a faction or could you take it by force. Also, i think bribing a clan for a vote would be a cool addition.
