And then we run up against the issue of wanting more positions available for people who don't already have positions. That's an old, old fight and I've argued the issue from both sides at various times. I still think the best solutions are to:
1. Actually implement some way for Ruler/Council to impose taxes on cities.
2. Bring back auto-bans (or grant the Judge some way to impose a ban in some period afterwards) for those who defect with regions.
That second one is totally going to screw up some plans of mine, but I still think it's necessary. Committing high-treason with no possibility of actually getting banned is bull!@#$. Ruler/Council gets a lot more power if those Dukes are courting death or deportation when they secede or defect.
