This is just absolutely amazing to me, as I'm duke in a realm where I can gladly offer an oath share of 100 gold per week or more to any knight that joins my duchy even if no other lord in the realm wanted to take on another knight. Not to mention, that nearly every single region in my realm needs 1-2 more knights, just to reach estate support. (with the exception of the two cities).

Well, do the math on how many nobles we can sustain, assuming a 10% tax rate and 50 gold per noble if able:
Briarull weekly income: 137 (3)
Wirkfyr weekly income: 137 (3)
Dalverdy weekly income: 140 (3)
Ammersfield weekly income: 147 (3)
Dregna: 228 (4, but this income was rogue two days ago so production is terrible)
So that's 16 nobles, out of 25 currently in realm.
Giblot weekly income: 790, which in theory is 15...

So... we could support another 5 knights, but we certainly don't need any more knights.
