For the old system (prior to new hierarchy/estates/dukeship-lordship de-coupling of 2012), please refer to Title Systems Old.
BattleMaster offers realms several different systems by which to attribute lordship titles. Here's a short explanation:
In all systems, holders of a dukeship are Dukes/Duchesses.
Simple
The simple system is very easy:
- Lords of Cities and Strongholds are Margraves/Margravines
- Lords of other regions are Counts/Countesses
Classic
Significant adjustments to the old system that was used for 6 years to accommodate lordship/dukeship split.
- City, Stronghold or Townslands: Margraves/Margravines
- everything else: Barons/Baronesses
Size
This system grants titles by the (nominal) population of your region. In descending population size:
- Margraves/Margravines
- Earl/Countess
- Viscount/Viscountess
- Baron/Baroness
Complex
This system grants titles by a combination of population, region type, fortification level and possibly other factors, in a way that only the realm bureaucrats really understand. In descending importance:
- Margraves/Margravines
- Earl/Countess
- Viscount/Viscountess
- Baron/Baroness
Republican / Democratic
These newfangled things should be avoided, as they only lead to the peasants getting ideas above their station.
Republican:
- City or Stronghold: Governors.
- Everything else: Senators.
Democratic:
- City or Stronghold: Governors.
- Everything else: Representatives.
