To the end of the list of actions in “Taxes” add the following:
- Each noble gains 2+T/3 Dignity (rounding down), where T is the number of titles that noble has.
Also considering that dignity is now essentially a victory condition and there’re currently few ways to increase it.

In the rule “Land” Replace
No Noble may take any action that, in part or in entirety, would cause that sum to exceed 110.
with
No Noble may take any action that, in part or in entirety, would cause that sum to exceed 110 except for the following exceptions: If acquiring a Title would cause the sum to exceed 110, the Noble acquiring the Title instead gains as many parcels as possible without the sum exceeding 110. Nobles may unidle and cause the sum to exceed 110 but then the Noble who unidled immediately loses parcels (starting with their unoccupied parcels) until the sum no longer exceeds 110.
Banning someone from unidling is very bad. Locking up the title game also seems like a negative side effect of this. Should let people get the titles but just no parcels.
Also there are currently 108 parcels, only two more can be gained! Hurry hurry hurry!

A Title within which a City has been built gives 4 Wealth (instead of 3) when Time Advances.
The “acquiring titles” portion of the game has all but dried up, I think in part to the fact that if you claim any of the open titles you wind up giving away all your income from it to your Lords. This will hopefully make getting titles a little more attractive for everyone.

Append to the rule “Monarchy”:
The current holder of The Crown is tracked at the top of the Peerage wiki page. A Noble claiming The Crown must announce the claim in a blog post. It is Outrageous for a Noble to claim The Crown more than once per Advancement of Time.
Enact a new subrule of “Monarchy” entitled “Royalty”:
Every Noble has a numerical statistic called “Royalty” and tracked in the GNDT. Royalty is equal to (Knights+TitlesHeld)*(OccupiedParcels+GreatWorks)*(Dignity+Wealth)/(1+TotalParcels), where those factors are pertaining to the individual Noble in question. Any Noble may update each and every Noble’s Royalty at any time, except when Time is being Advanced. The Noble with the highest Royalty value may claim The Crown at any time and is exempt from the rule “Seizing the Crown”, if it exists.
A more hollistic and straightforward approach. Also less gutsy; real King material plays it safe. Is it too late to encourage intrafamilial support?
I’m advancing time.
Wish me luck.

In the rule “Buildings”:
Amend the line that reads:
A Noble’s Influence for a type of Building is B+2E+3D, where B, E, and D are the number of Buildings of that type that they have built within Baronies, Earldoms, and Dukedoms, respectively.
to read:
A Noble’s Influence for a type of Building is B+2E+3D+S, where B, E, and D are the number of Buildings of that type that they have built within Baronies, Earldoms, and Dukedoms, respectively. S is outside factors that increase a buildings influence, including hosting a tournament. A noble may, at any time, spend 5 Dignity to increase the influence of on of their buildings by 1 (thus increasing S for that building).
In the subrules to “Buildings”:
Append to Cities:
A Noble with a City Influence of at least 4 also gains (CI - 3) to their total progress each time time advances, where CI is the noble’s City Influence.
Append to Church:
The Noble (P) with the highest church influence, may, once per two time advancements, make any single legal game action a Mandated actions, allowing all nobles, including (P) one time advancement to attempt to complete this Mandated action or suffer the dignity cost of 5 dignity. The (P) is responsible for deducting the appropriate dignity from all offending nobles. If (P) loses their status of having highest Church Influence, any current Mandated action becomes no longer mandated. If no Nobles take a Mandated action (not including P), all of P’s churches are destroyed and P loses 10 dignity.
(a) I wanted to allow other methods for gaining influence. (b) I wanted to give cities and churches and influence perk. (c) because mandated actions seem like a fun (and maybe annoying) idea. Note that mandates can include voting for a proposal, requiring nobles to write proposals, to take the crown, to declare feud, etc. I actually find this ability really amusing. It’s not overpowered, because of the relatively low cost of 5 dignity for not taking a mandated action and the high cost of making an unpopular mandate, but it allows for interesting dynamics, which could be fun.

Enact a subrule to “Monarchy” entitled “Seizing the Crown”:
If the crown is currently unoccupied, any noble may take the crown by force by expending 30 of their knights. This number is reduced by 1 per point of influence they have in Training Grounds.
If the crown is occupied, any noble may reduce or increase the total number of knights of the noble who has taken the crown per the rules in “Acts of War”.
It is outrageous for a noble holding the crown to not host a tournament at least once per time advancement. (This only requires proposing a tournament, but does not depend on people actually participating in the tournament).
If any of the following are true the noble who has the crown loses the crown. This check occurs before any other (including victory):
- the Noble holding the crown has no knights
- the Noble holding the crown has less than 50 dignity
Holding of the crown is tracked at the top of the peerage wiki.
It is improper for a noble to harm the noble holding the crown if they are members of the same family.
I think it would be fun to also have a culture victory option, but this should hopefully be a good starting point for a military victory.

Add the following to the end of rule “Titles”
If a Noble becomes Idle, he automatically relinquishes all Titles he holds as outlined in the rule Relinquishment.
Remove all Titles held by Idle Nobles.
Currently the Barony of Cainhoe is held by QuinnR. But it is also Abeyant as QuinnR is not a noble. So someone else can now buy it. If QuinnR were to rejoin the game, he’d still have the title though as he would suddenly be a noble again and that would create confusion.
Better to just force the sell on idling. If you don’t want to lose everything, don’t idle.
Increasing the wealth of Idle nobles is weird, so if someone comes back we can make a special rule to refund them for the title they lost while they were idle or something.

The only way new Baronies can be created is through the rule which states “If no Abeyant Baronies exist, any Noble may create one with a name of “Baron” or “Baron of”, followed by a unique name from either of the lists on this page (from the column titled “Name of barony”).”
ever since May the 3rd, the Baronies of Little Dunmow, Little Easton and Bolingbroke and been Abeyant yet the so called “Rationality, Earl of Derby” (if that really is his title) created the Barony of Hooton Pagnell (http://blognomic.com/wiki/index.php?title=Peerage&diff=15974&oldid=15970) on May 4th. He has been pretending to live in this imaginary Barony ever sense! Now, everyone has missed this mistake for two weeks. Trying to figure out just how much Wealth and other things he earned from this would be rather complicated. So for fairness purposes:
* All gamestate should exist as if the action taken by Rationality to create the Earldom of Derby and the Barony of Hooton Pagnell was legally performed.
* Remove the Title of Earl of Derby and every Title below it. Give Rationality 5 Wealth.
So basically, we pretend everything went as it actually did for the last two weeks. But force Rationality to sell his earldom he never should’ve been able to obtain and remove the bad titles.

Make the following a new paragraph in the rule monarchy
If at any time all of the following are true of a single noble, then the noble may obtain the title of king by making a post to that effect.
1. The noble has a dignity rating that is equal to or greater than the average dignity of all nobles and the noble is not a scoundrel.
2. The noble’s income is greater than the average net change in Wealth pursuant to the Rule Taxes the last time that the time was advanced.
3. All members of the house that the noble does not belong to are defenseless.
4. The noble is either The Duke of York or The Duke of Lancaster.
Append the following as a new point at the end of the rule Taxes.
Set each nobles Income to their net change in wealth during this advancement of time.
Make the following a new paragraph in the rule Wealth
Each noble has a numerical status entitled income which is tracked in the GNDT, and defaulting to 0
I think it about time we start to consider this.
