Hm.. The new system is great I didn't lose much gold. Well to be fair I had nothing to lose to begin with .
But from reading the new report, knights seem to receive a lot of gold. Lords can adjust that in time I am sure.
From my experience, the most that a Lord can tax their knight is 50%. So in my case, I have only one Knight with a 50% size estate. So the
least that I can give them is 25% percent of the region tax. (half of 50%). Of course, this is the upper end of the scale regarding estate size (from which they derive their gold). Many knights would have smaller estates.
