Will the gameplay be improved more so that we can play as a buisnessman or merchant who can swear vassalage and power through money and business? Players could join a kingdom, and volunteer themselves as a merchant? The gameplay wouldn't be too different really. The goal would be to trade a certain amount of goods, and the player would gain influence if they were able to earn a lot of money. But why do we have to hire an army and kill bandits and armies to gain reown? I'd absolutely love to play a civilian and gain non-military paths to vassalage and serve my king without needing a huge army. I dream of a game which has both civilian AND military aspects fleshed out really well, and can let me roleplay like littlefinger in game of thrones, but you need to hire armies before you can do anything, deliver letters to lords or stupid stuff instead of getting an enterprise of buisnesses to support the war cause for your faction.
