You aren't providing useful information. Who has more knights doesn't help me decide if they are more powerful politically. Who has more lords doesn't help me decide which dukes are more powerful politically. And I don't need to know that Arcaea has a lot of nobles to know they are a politically powerful realm.
You just keep saying this idea is so helpful and so useful and yet you have yet to explain how that is true. Listing benefits without explaining how this political power score somehow equates to those benefits is not explaining how this is helpful or useful.
I originally thought of this feature as an addition to the honour/prestige indices. It's not that I think it would be a silver bullet for all of BM's problems, but I think it would be more relevant than H/P currently are. I also proposed changes to H/P:

Again, it's not a silver bullet, which is why I also proposed some other FR's to hopefully go along with it, and I have a few more ideas that I haven't written down yet.
http://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,5599.0.htmlhttp://forum.battlemaster.org/index.php/topic,5655.0.htmlA lot of people have been attacking the devs for coming up with the glacier experiment to address the low noble density and poor player retention problem, but I'm not seeing a lot of alternatives being put forward. Frankly I think it's easy to attack an idea (and I've criticized the glacier thing) but criticizing without proposing a better idea is just criticizing.
