Traits

From the age of 15, a trait can be bought once every 5 years. These traits will cost 5 pounds each and can stack. However, these traits can degrade with age and a roll will be applied every ten years after the purchase of the first trait. Traits can also be given and removed by a moderator due to RP e.g. winning a siege may see a positive trait awarded whilst losing a limb may see the removal of another.

Personalised troop types

Due to RP now playing an important part in battles, the effective utilisation of specialised troop types can win the day. 4/5s of a lord’s levies will be light infantry which can comprise of spearman, bowmen etc. 1/5 of a lord’s levies can now be comprised of special professional troops which add bonuses to battles, (number of special troops on each side will be compared, giving the bonus to the side with the most special troops, regardless of actual type). With or without battle bonuses, effective RP of these troops can see a decisive victory.

These troops are professional and thus always ready. The remaining levy takes 3 real days to fully assemble. Income is halved when levies are raised to represent a loss of manpower, people working the fields etc.


Baron and upwards:
Every 100 professional troops cost 9 pounds and an annual ½ pound to maintain.

Might I suggest professional ship forces be able to be recruited? There is a difference between a warship with a veteran crew and a conscripted merchant with landsmen aboard.
