Title: Prestige based voting
Post by: loren on November 22, 2011, 10:07:51 PM

Was this option removed?  Did all monarchies change?  Am I just that old?

Yeah, that changed with the new election system (which has indeed been active for quite a while :) ). We do have representative voting by lords and dukes as an option now (lords with more knights get more weight). I personally think this is being used way too little.

Did monarchies ever have it? I know theocracies did, but I didn't think monarchies did.

"Of course, in a monarchy there is no monthly voting. A monarch is voted for once, and they remain until they removed in one of many different fashions. The Arch Priest(ess) is subject to the same fate. The monarch has the ability to appoint the Royal Treasurer and High Marshal when those post are vacated. Prestige carries with it great weight when voting for a new king; the most prestigious and aristocratic have far more say then the common knight. For judges, all votes are equal."

Sounds like it.
