The only alternatives I see are removing the minimum vote of 1 or giving everyone a freebie vote like in KOTR. The former is unacceptable because it would prevent some people from voting at all. The latter would be acceptable, but only if I also reduced the stat influence cap of each rank by 1 to compensate. That would result in:
No changes to FH, FL, & Chancellor.Knight:
Influence: 1
Baron:
Influence: 1
Viscount:
Influence: 1 + up to 1 Stat Influence.
Count:
Influence: 1 + up to 1 Stat Influence.
Marquess:
Influence: 1 + up to 2 Stat Influence.
Duke:
Influence: 1 + up to 3 Stat Influence.
Grand Duke:
Influence: 1 + up to 4 Stat Influence.
In reality, the above is exactly the same as what we're doing now, just worded differently. If this somehow makes people more comfortable, I'll do it since it doesn't actually change anything in the game.
