I think garrisons should be allowed to have up to six units. That's the amount that get free upkeep in huge cities, and it means that if a Count should marshal all his men he'll have a full stack.
Anyways, I've been thinking of how I want Prague to function post-cataclysm. Part if it is obvious, for example Becker will be Reichsgraf von Bohmen. That means he is essentially a freehold count. He will remain Count of Bohemia until his death, whereupon it passes to his chosen heir. He sets the build queue, taxes, etc. Basically Bohemia becomes a County without a Duchy. I also think Bohemia should be given exactly one standing army, or else the Reichsgraf will be the only person in the Reich who has to ask outside his faction if he needs the power of an army.
However, I want Bohemia to be something unique. Part of the beauty of the Cataclysm is that it provides and opportunity to fundamentally change the Four House political structure that has endured basically unchanged since the game began. With that in mind, I thought of what would become of Becker's kids. None of Becker's descendents would be part of a House, and with only one province the others are going to need something to do. So, I decided that all of Becker's descendents should have the ability to serve as 'free agents' in the Reich's armies.
In other words, Bohemian electors would serve the same purpose recruitable generals have now. If the House you want to join doesn't have any avatars, you could join as a Bohemian and negotiate to serve under that house. A bohemian could even join another house permanently, although such a dramatic and permanent change would have to be approved by the Reichsgraf.
This would give Bohemia a truly unique role in the Reich and would add to the roleplaying possibilities without giving Bohemia the powers of the Duchy.
How's that seem to everyone else?
