Hey all!
I replied with a similar point in another post but I felt that it would be best to put this down with a poll & it's own thread as I felt it was a wider topic which should be discussed.
I've always loved different titles for the amount of power you have, weirdly one of the bigger reasons I enjoyed ck2 so much. What I'd enjoy to see is a much better fleshed out system for the way that vassals are titled - even if it is only visual and has no other purpose to the game. I have a few reasons for this:-
Now it would also be a nice bonus if you could modify existing titles for your own custom kingdom, if the player is able to create such, changing the set titles to what he desires (count being changed to earl for example).
How would this all work you ask? See an example for the Vlandian Culture's titles (depending on the culture of the kingdom, the titles will change).
Knight OR Sir (female counterpart - Dame) - Unlanded Noble with Banner.
Baron (female counterpart - Baroness) - Owns a Village.
Count (female counterpart - Countess) - Owns a Castle.
Duke (female counterpart - Duchess) - Owns a Town.
King (female counterpart - Queen) - Controls a Kingdom.
Emperor (female counterpart - Empress) - Control a certain percentage of the contintent of Calradia?
Please note that the wife/husband to the noble in question would have their counterpart title (so a landed count's wife would automatically gain the title of countess, regardless if she had lands)

What I'd enjoy to see is a much better fleshed out system for the way that vassals are titled - even if it is only visual and has no other purpose to the game. I have a few reasons for this:-
- Firstly if anything else it just looks cool. Personally on my warband playthroughs I would change my own 'title' in accordance to the land I owned because I wanted to feel like I wasn't just a "player" but part of the game.
- Secondly it will be really handy when seeing bits of info and pop ups here and there to identify which are more pressing to handle. To quote Justin who I believe summerises what I'm trying to say rather well:
JustinTime49 said:I assume that troops numbers just like in warband will be based on your fiefs/enterprises. If so, being able to identify a powerful vassal based on the prefix of Duke, Count, Baron, etc would add so much immersion and great gameplay. Especially in the army system.
"Duke Ecarand has formed an army" I'd be like ah **** don't wanna mess with that influential dude who will pack like 800 men.
Compare that to "Baron Eren has fomed an army" I'd be like ok he will probably gather forces to raid the countryside(villages) so I don't need to worry about castles. - And thirdly if some game features could be formed around the different titles giving different powers, it could host many different features such as having to gather the support of a Duke or several counts to propose the moving of certain laws or even only certain titles (Dukes) could pass certain laws. It really does give large opportunities for the player to become more immersed and have more choice.
Now it would also be a nice bonus if you could modify existing titles for your own custom kingdom, if the player is able to create such, changing the set titles to what he desires (count being changed to earl for example).
