Yeah, because a "100-man infantry unit" just screams "new player" a lot louder than "old family with rich duke", right?
Gotta agree that prestige voting is more newbie friendly, not to mention that we used to have it.
Mind you, not all government systems need to favor newbies, else we'd have nothing but equal voting all around. Voting for lords only, for example, is quite elitist. Especially if it's representative, since those dukes usually have the most knights as well and therefore get the most votes.
But diversity is the spice of life.
