Can Independants be made into mini factions?

[Baldwin of Jerusalem]

Well, Im just wondering how far you guys can take this idea of independant kingdoms. Im extremely impressed by this mod. Ive previously been playing RTR, which is awesome too but this one does things that I didnt think were possible on a 1.2 build.

We all know that we are restricted to 20 factions but if the independants concept could be expanded on then theres a potentially limitless resource to draw on for variation. Is it possible do you think, to make them interact with you independantly? Each one for instance could be headed by a family member, with the trait "king" or "Chieftan" and you could be at peace or at war with each and every one individually. If not now, then will it be possible when the mod is ported to 1.5 or 1.6? Trade rights also. Will it be possible to trade with them on an individual basis?
