well you call them races in real life, so why not the game?
or call them factions then if you want. but to me that has always made it sound like they are one big nation divided into factions or guilds or some crap. it doesnt sound as realistic.

no problem. just make sure if you are going to start it that you keep a solid effort up the whole way. dont rush it just to get it finished.

include a section about managing towns/castles. and something about the detrimental effect that brothels have on your generals. it took me a long time to figure that one out.
a bit about the guilds maybe.
the mongol and timurid invasions.
the new world.

Yup it does.
It gives the Drunkard line of traits, one of which can put a -5 to Command.

Trading is the key to victory in this, it's the only way you can really make a large amount of profit which is needed to fund construction and armies etc.

Not exactly sure aboots that, I've been wondering myself but I read somewhere that using him in a lot of battles gives him authority, but I suspect it'd be because he'd have the Scars line of traits, which gives an Authority boost on about the 2nd or 3rd one.
