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.
