back to mechanics for a second...
I like the idea of tying voting power to land. However, I think that having it purely like that would discourage the original house leaders from distributing their land to their vassals. I think it would be better if a house leader's voting power was based off of the total number of settlements that the house posesses. The members of the house would still have their voting power tied directly to the amount of land they personally own.
