Wait... government members can't become region lords?
This is a bit ridiculous, in my opinion. I can't be both General and a lord?
So not only are Generals stuck with the thankless task of ordering around their feckless countrymen and taking the blame when they screw up -- I'm not saying this is the case in my realm, just hypothetically speaking -- but Generals are also unable to at least finance themselves with a region lordship, and have to continually go begging for money?
