Crikey, I had not thought of that. If the King and the Prince challenge each other, shouldn't there be civil war? OK, I agree - King gets first pick, Prince must choose different bodyguard unit.

2. How about using members of your retinue as champions? They'd be above average, but then there's that chance that you could lose them.
Yes, that's what I meant about champions having a fight value that might be altered by a few retinue. I agree about them having the same small risk of death as players and so losing the retinue.

Will clarify those points when I come to revise the proposal.

Also to clarify, champions are anonymous cannot accumulate or lose fight value points by winning, but I think identified retinue should be subject to that. (I like the image of a dread knight carving a swathe through the more uppity young nobles.)
