http://bugs.battlemaster.org/view.php?id=6576so i don't end up spamming that entry too much...
basically... question in hand is... "what to do with the poor sodding dukes who ended up with no regions"
aside from ruler doing a "chop the duchy" that is.
ideas so far from there:
1) ruler assign region with no lord to existing duke (with no regions only? any duchy? click war between ruler and duke?)... i keep forgetting if ruler can create new duchy from town/cities with no lord.. if they can, then it's no different from dissolving old duchy, then create new duchy and sticking the duke there
2) allow lords to flip duchy when they are in same region as the duke (of no regions only? any duke?) - bear in mind that lords can flip to any duchy already (aside from lord of last city of realm) as long as they are physically in a region of the new duchy
3) allow dukes to give away regions to another duke. not all that different from rulers giving regions away (hmm.. does that still work in new hierarchy?)
