Title: Additional Vote Counting Systems
Summary: Add voting systems that count based off the fortifications of a lord's settlement, by the types and number of soldiers commanded, as well as by the population of estates lorded over, or some other thing.
Details: BattleMaster is an old game, so it should be an old game with options. As such I shall detail each proposal below:
- By spears - Each soldier counts for a vote.
- By swords - Like above, but better soldiers count more.
- By horses - Only cavalrymen count for voting.
- By chivalry - Only the chivalrous cavaliers may vote.
- By forts - Lords vote based on the defenses of their holding. Better forts? More votes.
- By heads - Lords vote based on the population of their region.
- By honor - Nobles vote with weight based on honor score.
- By prestige - Nobles vote with weight based on prestige score.
- By guilds - Lords vote based on the number of guilds hosted in their lands.
- By archers - Because they're the best.
Benefits: The increased options allow realms to add some more flavoring to their ways
and, and this is the really important part, this way people can't say "But M&F has..." in regards to voting types. Also potentially results in more unpredictable votes.
Possible Downsides/Exploits: Would require an update to the manual page and for some systems voting results could be unpredictable.
Blame Vita for this.
