And in a good way. If your plan fails because some of your troop leaders 
are at a tournament, then I'd blame the plan first, and the troop 
leaders second.

If we were realistically simulating tyrannies, there would be none in 
this game, because they wouldn't be fun for anyone but the ruler.

Please take into account that with all things we strike a balance 
between simulation and playability.

That's why we have some inalienable rights to protect things that even 
in a medieval republic wouldn't have been protected - because what we do 
protect here isn't a nobles ability to go and meet his peers, but a 
players ability to enjoy the game.
