Could you explain a little bit in a thread how these positions can be achieved? Will there be something like elections held under the people, or tests like a horseriding contest, combat test, ... ? What i understand is that a Count or King is the ruler of a region held by several guilds who are in the same alliance correct? If people have to choose wich leader of wich clan can be count or king i wonder how democratic that will go :-D
If the guild owns at least 2 certain castles (out of 3) in the county, the head of the guild receives the title of Count. If the guild owns at least 2 certain castles in the royal county then the head of the guild becomes King. So it's hard to call it democracy :^)
