Good to hear. Got some new nobles, some of them rather new to the game, and I'd hate to keep them out of the army.

As Ruler of my Realm I am unable to assign myself to an army X.x

Maybe I'm blinded but I'm not seeing the option.

Nope, you're right; I missed that.

Well, actually - you shouln't be able to if you're not also the marshal. As ruler, you'd not serve under anyone, right?

This is a tricky bit of hierarchy we'll still have to sort out.

This is a tricky bit of hierarchy we'll still have to sort out.

The ruler is always free to ignore the marshal. You won't go seeing the judge fine the ruler if he doesn't obey the marshal's commands.

Being part of an army shouldn't be considered being subjugated to its marshal. The Marshal should be considered more of a coordinator, since he lacks the ability to punish anyone himself. The rest of the feudal hierarchy should be used to know who is subjugated to who.

Being part of the army is just so much simpler. For gameplay's sake, I would request that rulers not be given a restriction for this. Rulers have many duties as it is, we shouldn't ask them to figure out military affairs themselves as well, on top of the diplomacy they must do.

I have to agree with Chenier. It would be very annoying for the ruler to have to be the Marshal in order to march with an army.

If you were to completely follow the "can't serve under someone lower than you" ideal, then you wouldn't bother allowing the sponsor to assign a marshal. You'd just auto-assign the highest ranked noble in the army as the Marshal.

IMO for game play purposes, we should allow anyone to be in any army.

yes, ruler would be deprived of much interesting communication that comes within some army.

It would be funny, however, that ruler has some special status within the army, visible to everyone, and that he can even affect some army stats when participating in battles. That should apply to general as well, and I believe lot of background could be found - there are so many battles where sheer presence of ruler (or general) affected soldier's morale (similar to banner concept).

that would also force lazy rulers to move their asses to battlefield at least in critical battles, and gives much food for rp...
