Problem is, as a realm conquered more ducal centers, controlling more lands would be easier.

Large realms in areas of mostly rurals would be identical as it is now. Large realms in duchy-dense areas (FEI, southern EC, parts of Dwilight) would be much easier. FOr example: under this system, D'Hara's maintenance issues would be greatly simplified, while Morek would probably enjoy little benefit.

Yes? City placement has never been uniform and that has always caused some differences between realms in terms of income and food requirements vs number of regions, I don't see that being a huge issue for this application either.

The thought was to add the duchy loyalty to non-duchy seats, though. As most of D'Hara is ducal seats, it would only change the maintenance for the townslands and rurals.

Though that's something I hadn't considered.

Hm, true. It wouldn't help with that. Meaning the benefit of moving knights to cities away from rurals would rise... though probably only marginally.

Except if the rurals get stuck with control problems, then they produce less food for the cities.

But most dukes outside D'Hara couldn't really care less due to the abundance of rurals in most realms.
