Listing the people you can't appoint, and why, is a good idea. It has been done in certain places before, and has been discussed for this system.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

I like the idea also. As to the ridiculous I made comment, it was to all the things you were suggesting about the dev team, I didn't see a feature idea in there at all.

This, I think is definitely a good idea. It wouldn't be hard to tuck the list of people in the realm, but not in the duchy, who you can't appoint, away behind a disclosure button or something.

Could someone please write this up as a feature request so it's not forgotten?

Isn't it that the region he is currently Lord of will become part of the Duchy he is appointed to? I can't remember now, but it should be.

No, and no.

It seems the game disagrees.

A New Duke   (12 hours, 18 minutes ago)
message to all nobles of Arcaea
Velax de Vere, Emperor of Arcaea, Royal of Arcaea, Marshal of Imperial Arcaean Legion has appointed Maurus Barek to the vacant duke position of Central Arcaea. As a result, Irneas is now in the Duchy of Central Arcaea.
[protest options]

After all it's a roleplaying game.

Well, hrmm... not the way I thought it was supposed to work.
