As a lord, i never cared whether i was making the most gold i could personally. That's pretty pointless. Theres enough gold to go around that keeping as much of it to yourself as possible is just stupid. More estates brings you more knights, and more knights brings more fun.
I agree with you, I also welcome knights in my regions in the spirit of the game and I'm sure many others do too. My point is that the economics of the game favour a low density rate.
which takes us full circle to our original problem... there's no knights, only lords & vacancies
Which takes me to my original point, that corralling the characters on one side of the continent doesn't address the underlying economic flaw that puts high-density realms at a disadvantage.
