One thing you have to remember though, is that it will at times be far easier to bring other lords to the fight with the new influence system, where as i remember it, you send a message, costing influence, asking individual lords to come join you and then they come and help you in taking a keep or the like
assuming ai lords are more bound to only what the player can do, hopefully they'll fund themselves with productive enterprises like we do, and if thats the case id like to see a vengeful lord assemble an army of mercenaries and raid villages and what not, of course though it should be a percentage chance otherwise when one faction is left there will be just a bunch of no faction lords acting like bandits
He has already had a similar type post removed, its clear from his phrasing that he is not making this argument in good faith, but to draw out angered responses and the like. Thread should just be removed like his other one was.
i would be worried with how reliable the ai would be at commanding segments of your army for you. I mean we got that one blog about the battle ai but we cant be sure untill people play it
