BattleMaster offers realms several different systems by which to attribute titles. Here's a short explanation:
Simple
The simple system is very easy:
- Dukes are Dukes
- Lords of Imperial regions are Viscounts
- Lords of other regions are Barons
Classic
This is the system we used for 6 years; many players grew used to it, so we keep it around. Titles are based on the region type you command:
- City or Stronghold: Duke
- Townsland: Marquis
- Woodland/Rural: Count
- everything else: Baron
Size
This system grants titles by the (nominal) population of your region:
- Dukes are dukes, irrespective of size
- > 12000 peasants: Marquess
- 6000 - 12000 peasants: Earl/Countess
- 2000 - 6000 peasants: Viscount
- < 2000 peasants: Baron
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.
Republican / Democratic
These newfangled things should be avoided, as they only lead to the peasants getting ideas above their station.
