The new estates does make it somewhat more complicated to accommodate large influxes of characters. Not as bad as the last one, though.
What are you talking about? In the previous estate system I /always/ had room for more knights, now there really is a limit to how much knights a realm can accomodate... Which is awkward at times.
Overall, the new estate system is an immense improvement though. I was probably just the only fanatic supporter of the old one.
