Add the a subrule called “Taking Over” to “Obtainment” and give it the following text
A Nobles Attack Score is equal to their total Knights, minus the number of Titles which they hold.
If an Earldom is not Abeyant, any Noble who does not hold that Earldom but does hold a Barony below that Earldom may spend 10 wealth to cause the Earldom to become Abeyant. They may only do so if the following conditions hold: 1) They have a positive Attack Score which is greater than that of the Noble who holds the Earldom and 2) Time has advanced at least once since the Noble obtained that Earldom. If both Nobles have the same Family, this action is Improper.
If a Dukedom is not Abeyant, any Noble who does not hold that Dukedom but does hold a Earldom below that Dukedom may spend 20 wealth to cause the Dukedom to become Abeyant. They may only do so if the following conditions hold: 1) They have a positive Attack Score which is at least twice as large than that of the Noble who holds the Dukedom and 2) Time has advanced at least once since the Noble obtained that Dukedom. If both Nobles have the same Family, this action is Improper.
There really needs to be a way to subplant Nobles. Otherwise its just a race to the top. But it needs to be expensive. Maybe paying wealth isn’t the right idea, but not sure what else would work.
I think there should be a way to remove nobles from their titles. I have two issues with this rule thought: 
We do need a way of taking Titles off other Nobles, but I think it should be connected to Feuds somehow.
