User:Kanif/Kingdom deeds

The village system, even though efficient, is limited and could be improved to match the medieval setting: feudalism. Here is a system based on medieval Europe.

Authority

In the medieval era, aristocracy was the structure of power. The mayor was seen as head of a household. He was the 'director' of the employes of a place. The power is described as a lord giving a fief to a vassal. Hence, if a king gave a plot of land to an aristocrat the lord is the king, the land is the fief and the aristocrat is the vassal.

Fief

A fiefdom, fief, feud, feoff, or fee often consisted of heritable lands or revenue-producing property granted by a liege lord in return for a form of allegiance. This was done at a formal and symbolic ceremony called a commendation ceremony comprised of the two-part act of homage and oath of fealty.

Rename the Village deeds category to Kingdom deeds. The deeds themselves needs naming too. I propose 4 types: Communes, Villages, Cities and Provinces. They would be as so:

Size		Name	Cost	Citizens
Size 5		Small commune	0.25 gold	10 citizens
Size 10		Commune	1 gold	40 citizens
Size 15		Big commune	2.25 gold	90 citizens
Size 20		Small village	4 gold	160 citizens
Size 30		Village	9 gold	360 citizens
Size 40		Big village	16 gold	640 citizens
Size 50		Small city	25 gold	1000 citizens
Size 70		City	49 gold	1960 citizens
Size 100		Big city	100 Gold	4000 citizens
Size 200		Province	400 Gold	16000 citizens

Inheritance system

Different type of kingdom deeds are allowed to overlap. Overlapping makes a deed part of a structure of deeds. The biggest deed sets the "100 tiles apart" distance and the inheritance. Each deed may have it's different name and mayor but the mayor of the biggest deed sets the rights to be inherited to the smaller deeds. Upkeep can be shared or not.
