Some of the poems aren't appropriate (e.g. All the Silks of Veluca). Would you like me to replace them with genuine twelfth century poems? There are plenty of things that would be appropriate (such as a troubadour poem for the troubadour). Obviously the ladies' replies would need to change too but I could volunteer my services for that too. PM me if you are interested.

This probably belongs elsewhere, but the there are two things I would like to see in the upcoming patches:

More Heraldry; There is currently one coat of arms per Lord, which means that as soon as you get a coat of arms one of the other lords ends up doubling up. It is also a little silly that when I put Alayen up as a Lord he ended up with the Kingdom of Nords' coat of arms.

Titles based on the amount of Land owned; Something like landless = Sir, owns a village but nothing larger = Lord, owns a castle but nothing larger = Count, owns a city = Duke. Ladies married to Counts or Dukes should probably be called Countess or Duchess (which would also help in terms of knowing who to butter up).

You go to bed at night and when you close your eyes you see a pair of horses ears.

I'd rather see Zendar start as a set of ruins (the ancient capital of Calradia), and have a "Build your capitol" quest for right to rule points once you have become Queen/King.

Well, there is already the option of pulling out of a battle if somebody who likes you attacks. Any further restrictions on family attacking you should be reciprocal (for instance if your father-in-law won't attack a city with his daughter in it, you shouldn't be able to attack a city with your mother-in-law in it, which would make things difficult when taking the last city of an enemy).

Whenever I lay siege to a castle held by Nords I make sure I spend a long time under their walls exchanging missile fire. Their extra range isn't a factor, and they do little damage so I usually come out well ahead in the exchange and I usually make some inroads into their footmen.

Anyone know the origin of the Rohdoks is? like what they are based on?

Apparently Italo-Swiss...
check wiki "Nobility of Italy" you'll get appropriate ranks, too lazy to do it myself.

I have put in Italian ranks for Rhodoks above.

Before I become big Enough, I usually name my Kingdom after my first city(County/Sheikhdom/Jarldom of Dhirim/Whatever), and then when I become larger, I rename it mostly after my characters origin(Sarranid: The Caliphate of...)

I usually start off with the City name and then change it to Empire of Calradia.

If I were going to add more factions I'd keep moving East. An Indian faction, a Chinese faction and a Japanese faction in that order.

Another option would be a Byzantine faction.

Here are the titles I would envision with relation to the Swadian base titles

King - Konungur

Baron - Baron
Baroness - Baronsfru
Lord - Drottin
Lady - Hefdharfru
Sir - Herra


Rhodok

King - Re
Queen - Regina
Duke - Duca
Duchess - Duchessa
Count - Conte
Countess - Contessa
Baron - Barone
Baroness - Baronessa
Lord - Signore
Lady - Signora
Sir - Sir

Saranid

King - Sultan
Queen - Sultana
Duke - Mushir
Duchess - Mushira
Count - Qadi
Countess - Qadiya
Baron - Sheik
Baroness - Sheika
Lord - Sayid
Lady - Sayida
Sir - Faris (Farisa for a female)


Kerghit

King - Khan
Queen - Khatun
Duke - Cherbi or Wang
Duchess - Cherbi (?)
Count - Noyan
Countess - Noyan (?)
Baron - Darga
Baroness - Darga (?)

Countess - Boiarina
Baron - Voevoda
Baroness - Voevodsha
Lord - Pomestnik
Lady - Pomestnitsa
Sir - Rytsar


With the Mongol names it is a bit tricky because I couldn't find female equivalents.

With females the female equivalent of the husband's title is used (Duke Klargus' wife is a Duchess), but daughters are merely "Lady"

In terms of changing Heraldry based on rank what I would suggest is that the heraldry itself doesn't change, but the way it is displayed changes.

One possibility is to have the type of banner your army uses change depending on rank. The only rule of I am aware of historically is in Scotland, where the size of standard you were allowed to use was based on your rank. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraldic_standard for more.

The other bit about heraldry that changed with rank was the "achievement of arms", which are basically those fancy drawings of the coat of arms with animals on either side, a motto on the bottom and a crown on top. I'd go with something like Lord or knight gets a helmet on top, Baron gets a motto, Count gets supporters and Duke gets a mantle, but that's a lot of effort for something that is purely visual.

I agree with you on he other stuff lanceor and will get back to you on that.

The only nicknames for Lords that I have are for the Lord with the Green and White checks as his device, whom I call Lord Tablecloth, and Lord Gutlans, whom I call Lord Gutless (he spends most of his time raiding my villages in my game).

I almost went with New Sparta, but that sounded corny, so I went with SpartB.
