No, that's not what I was saying at all. I don't think a noble should have to 'be provided' with gold in the first place.
Should I constantly be asking my liege or other lords for a better share?
Not 15 minutes ago I asked the "treasury" group of one of my characters realms for 75 gold. I can afford to recruit a unit or maintain it in the field, not both. And this is just a unit where soldiers cost 36 gold per 10.
Duh, and no.
In a realm where oath shares are very low, new players would score the realm, presumably, rather low. In a realm where oath shares were more generous, new players might score the realm comparatively higher. There are three ways to provide a noble with regular income: realm shares, oath shares, and donations. A new player will probably not be nuanced enough to distinguish between all of these quite clearly.
We could phrase the question as, "How satisfied have you been with the amount of gold your character receives in this realm?"
I reiterate, if there are no major complaints to this idea,
why isn't it happening?
