Enact a new rule entitled “Armies”:

Each Noble has a non-zero integer statistic called “armies” that defaults to 0 and is tracked in the GNDT.
At any time, a Noble may spend 2 wealth to gain 1 army.

Enact a subrule to “Titles” entitled “Vassalage”:

Once per week, a noble may collect wealth from all of their vassals directly below their title. A Duke may collect a maximum of 5 wealth per Baron,  a Baron may collect a maximum of 3 wealth from each Earldom. When collecting, a noble must collect from all possible vassals.
In order to take this action in a Proper manner, the noble must provide each of their vassals with 1 army.

Once per week a Noble may attempt to gain Lordship over another noble in one of the following ways:

In a Proper Manner: A Noble (A) may post a story post entitled “Title Offer: [name of title]”,in which A offers an Abeyant title below A’s title as well as any other amounts of wealth or armies. Upon posting this story post, the title offered by (A) ceases to be “Abeyant”, and becomes “A’s [Title]” and A must purchase the title in any manner available to them (i.e. via Bribery). In the comments of the story post, any Noble who wants to gain the title offered and is not already a Vassal to a Noble other than A, may make a comment with in the comment. The title offer remains active for a week after it was posted. Once any Noble responds with a , A may close the offer and give the title to any single noble who posted a in their response. If, at the end of the week, only one noble has responded with a , A must appoint that noble to the position. In either of the cases, the title transfers from A to the noble acquiring the title and A must give the offered armies and wealth to the noble acquiring the title. If no Nobles have responded with a after a week, the offer closes, and the title returns to being Abeyant.

Alternatively: A Noble (A) may attack any other Noble (B) whose title is below them. If (A) has 5 more armies than (B) than (A) gains Lordship over, at most, one of (B)‘s titles. Doing so costs (A) 2 army and 1 dignity (in addition to the dignity lost for not performing this action in a Proper Manner). If title that (A) gained Lordship over was under Lordship to a different Noble (C), (C) loses lordship over (B).

A Noble may only gain Lordship over a Noble who is directly below their title. A Noble may only gain Lordship over a Noble who is in the same family as they are. A Noble may never gain Lordship over a Title they already gain lordship over.

Amend the text of the rule “Bribery” to read:

A Noble whose Family isn’t “-” may spend 4 Wealth to obtain an Abeyant Barony.
If an Earldom is Abeyant, a Baron may obtain that Earldom by spending 8 Wealth and transferring 1 Wealth to each Vassal they gain through that Earldom (which may cause them to transfer to the same Noble multiple times).
If a Dukedom is Abeyant, an Earl may obtain that Dukedom by spending 12 Wealth and transferring 2 Wealth to each Vassal they gain through that Dukedom (which may cause them to transfer to the same Noble multiple times).
