Create a new rule entitled “Chivalry”:
Each Noble has a number of Knights, tracked in the GNDT and defaulting to 5.
Whenever a Noble obtains an Abeyant Earldom, they gain 5 Knights. Whenever a Noble obtains an Abeyant Dukedom, they gain 10 Knights.
A tastier alternative to armies.
Counterpoints: tying military power to feudal rank is thematic, connecting game mechanics makes for interesting gameplay and there are currently no benefits to being a duke.
I suspect that there will be benefits to being a duke, and 10 is a lot of knights. I’m not sure that we should be starting with any amount of knights, and I would have liked for you to include a method of acquiring knights.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

Skju:
I’d rather not have them tied to titles because I think that would only speed up the fastest players and leave a larger gap between them and the others.
