Thing is, family wealth isn't like anything else in the game. Fair enough, you can say things like becoming a world class infiltrator require a lot of effort, sacrifice and all that, but that's a decision you take with a character and anyone can come along and have a crack at it. If you want to hit several thousand family gold and have the option to buy a region, that's a decision you're really taking as a player, and something you're utilising all your characters towards for some meta-goal. Sure, there should be perks for enriching your family, but I don't think it should be a right to buy out a duchy whenever you feel like it. Why shouldn't just anybody have the chance to get some dubious claim to a region recognised? Or is that our punishment for not being 'ambitious' enough?
