    Seems to make sense from a historical perspective. Can they muster troops
    during any month in the winter? By spending extra gold to "entice" the
    men into showing up ASAP, you could ensure a unit called for in the 1st
    month of winter was ready in the 1st month of spring.

    As you noted elsewhere in your post, Cerilia seems to have its own special
    brand of feudalism. I would assume guilds in Cerilia are much more
    profitable and powerful than they were in medieval Europe. It appears that
    many people have time to take up some occupation other than farming.
    Perhaps this is because of the liberal use of Bless Land realm spells or
    some other "fantastic" phenomenon. So, maybe in Cerilia there are grounds
    for men sitting around all year long with not a lot to do who can say "Hey,
    I think I'll join that there new unit the Baron's formin' up so I can get
    me hands on that signing bonus!"

    Any possibility of seeing some of your ideas? I agree the Rule action, in
    particular, probably needs to be slowed down. I've been considering making
    a Rule action not take effect until 1 month/new holding level after it was
    initiated. Thus, ruling from a level 3 to level 4 province would take 4
    months before it was effective. The more people you're trying to influence
    (or the more mebhaighl you're trying to harness, etc...), the longer it
    should take to do so.

    I meant no disrespect. Keith proclaimed himself as such, unbidden. Looks
    like the GV has a discipline problem on his hands.

    You bet!

    Exactly.

    Yep, I must say thats the way I see things too.

    Hey - never thought of slowing down the results of a successful rule
    action. Hmmm ... that makes very good sense!

    Heh. Yes, it seems I do .... :) Oh, KEEIIITTHHHHHHH! I need to talk
    to you ... :)

    Cheers,
