Birthright: Chimaeron

I have just been trying to figure out what is happening in Icewind Dale in what time frame, especially for when occupation could start, etc. The way it was stated was that Warding appeared and then 20 Unseelie moved in. The only way for that to happen is either the Unseelie have an improved version ...

Figure it at 3x human. Works out within a year or so.

Since standard upgrades via normal tech tree give +1 to the various upgrades with no resource maintenance, I would think these should give a better bonus, say +2. Having chains, like Basic Steam Engines/Upgraded Engines or Cannon upgrade/Ammo upgrade seems fine, but I don't like requiring the Basic ...

With the slow speed of province growth, I like the down 1 step:

Caravel + Heavy @ 3, Elite 4, Superior 5, Galleon 5 or 6

While the effect is instantaneous, the casting is not. Realm spells supposedly take preparation and significant time to cast. I would think a blooded mage or priest present in the target province could feel that a realm spell was being cast. If they won initiative they should be able to abort to cas...

Inheritance does seem likely to be a major issue with the Trade chaining. The other classes have some minor impact from level loss from an heir taking over, fighters have fewer training points, there are a few realm spells that might not be able to be cast by a lower level mage or priest (Improved B...

You get crushed, your line fades into obscurity.

Which is what the present blood loss on holdings 0 simulate. Take a little damage in a war, aka holding level loss, and you recover. Not that big of a deal.

Holding levels go up and down for various reasons, including province owner levying a province. The harder part is removing the holdings totally. That reflects the loss of all the levels and finally being driven out of the province. So I think it's set correctly.
