KOTR Postmortem and Next-Gen Rules Discussion

[Zim]

I"m a bit sleepy so I'm probably not explaining myself well.

I think IC custom is more than enough to handle the problem in most cases, but that if someone wills his land to his character's son (of age and controlled by a different player, or course, as per the rules), his title would transfer automatically, and the player's former vassals would have to break their oath prevent it. It makes sense to me for a Duke to leave his title to his son.

One tricky thing would be deciding whether the son of a high ranking noblemen would be exempt from the (held lesser rank for x turns) rule to inherit a title. I also have no idea what the best way to deal with the situation of the now promoted son already being in a neccessary part of the feudal chain, since having him replace the now dead nobles second in command as the new Marquess or whatever would probably tick the guy off.



It was just a thought, and Ituralde's idea is likely better.

If I'm hearing this right,

Titles will be passed down but no one has to follow them?

How is that different from what we have?

We can effectively do that now. I can say in the test game that Ig will be Count if I die. Of course he'll need a new vassal afterwards. It will only hold enough weight as others let it.
