realistic fudalism

i wondered if this is possible? create a mod to emulate early fudal europe. the basis would be that the player only ever owns one city (there capitol)(france=paris, HRE=?, Venice=venice, england=london) there rest are vassals. these vassals can be order to provide troops and give a set amount of money each turn. so going to war would be difficult because all your vassals must provide troops or your screwed. any ideas on if this could be done?

I disagree, if there is an AI system for the enemy, then you just need to figure how to use that AI for you.

oh and larry, Igh.

No, I don't think it can be done. and if it is, then not like a reall feudal system. also, less regions mean less family members and power, so that vassals are not a good idea, they can also depart from your country.

You could "sort of" do it I think but with a max of 31 (?) factions you could only realistically model a smallish area--you could maybe do it for France for example and make the factions the different dukes/counts etc. You'd probably need to set 3-4 dominant factions with one AI profile and all the minor factions would have a different one where they always aimed to be a vassal of one of the big four. Otherwise the dominant factions would end up conquering the smaller ones instead of vassaling them.
