Velax,

I beg to differ. The strength of a lord is quite a bit in the strength of his vassals, at least that is how I see it. But then again, there is no strength in vassals that are not loyal, but rather parasitic instead.

Was it not the case before the estate revamp that you needed knights to properly maintain your region? We are not going back there, but something similar in nature could be had with the estate buildings. If a lord needs knights to occupy his estates in order to have the buildings in the said estates to do any good, then there is balance there.

Just as an example you could have only one large building at your estate. A lord could have one large building at his own estate, but if he wanted more large buildings operational, he would need to have a knight for each. If some of the knights then choose to have little extra income on the side, they could do that and perhaps even get away with it, if it is more important for the lord to have the buildings doing whatever they do and if there is a shortage of knights.

As for right now, it would perhaps be silly to offer such options for knights if there is nothing to balance it.
