A Song of Ice and Fire :: Factions (OOC)

[Second Helghan Empire]

Looking up vassals and how they work. History says it was depended by the land's religion and culture. Some leaning towards favoring your lord and the other your family.
So, I guess that supports that realistic depending on the land and culture. You could expect your kin house to favor you.

Though, I still think it's completely fair to have vassals.
Here is what I suggest. That you only gain taxes and control soldiers if they led by your house. You can move your house members to claim taxes.
Even build on to the vassal lands. As long as someone is there.

Though a house would never be sending it's ten year daughter to go collect taxes.
So, we should be able to have loyal servants to the house like sworn swords.
To serve in place of our lords.

I think that could be cool. It would definiyely add another element to the game for more powerdul noble houses and give a reason marry younger choldren into minor houses to gain more people to send around to do this.

Any more mechanics especially with countless unconfirmed NPCs and it'll be more number crunching than an actual RP lol

I'm serious XD

Part of the reason why I felt somewhat comfortable coming into this RP with no prior knowledge on the universe

If anyone is interested, I believe the Redwynes are open.

As far as building on the land of vassals- eh, I kind of get it, but at the same time there doesn't seem to be much point. Say you build a farm using royal funds on the lands of one of your vassals. It doesn't actually benefit you as liege, since the only thing it contributes is money to your vassal's coffers. Even if you tax a tithe (probably a reasonable amount to avoid rebellions) you're making one more gold a month for an outlay of forty.

[Stolen Idol]

Nah, because I meant if you keep a lord at a vassal's holding. They pay like their income, because your like micromanaging

[Relikai]

I'm playing vassals like the Crusader Kings 2 kind of vassalage, holdings which you have control over are directly controlled by you, vassals mind their own buildings and pay their tithe. You can build for them, but you are building for them after all. Whatever profits come still come from the tithe of their income.

[G-Tech Corporation]

Mm, I doubt that's how it would work. A vassal wouldn't just pay you every cent they make because you have a family member larking about nearby.

Honestly, even a tithe is a bit unrealistic, but I talked it out with my vassals and they seemed alright with it.

[The Flame Dawn]

Oh yeah... I do need to discuss payments with my vassals

I'll mention it during the Tourney or whatever, when I'm away from my seat of power and whatnot

In actuality it's the Kings who have to keep their vassals appeased xD No king has absolute power and the nobles are the ones who control the core land they're given. Piss off enough vassals and they'll just challenge the King into a devastating civil war. Good luck solving that. Medieval England is a good example.

Yeah, exactly why I talked to all my vassals as they were excepted to determine reasonable terms of fealty

Unless you have Dragons. Dragons make things exponentially easier to control.

[Caermine]

As White Harbor is known for it's trade, I'd like special merchant ships as my house bonus.

+1 gold/month when connected to a trade route
+1 gold/month for the house on the other side of the trade route

I ment add a biologic daughter XD

I dont think there is much of an issue. The RP hasnt really taken off yet and there wasnt a limit to the number of house members for the application. I had to tweak my app two times already after it was accepted due to changes with the upkeep and bonus mechanic
