I would suggest going through the dev journals, there are a lot but there is a lot to the game and a lot of answers you get might have bits wrong, or will reference some dev quote from discord/irc/something and...well it just gets messy.

But is it worth it? Comes down to you really, I pledged Astronomer but I think this game has the potential to be what I have been waiting for for...well years and years. So 350 is a small price to pay if it helps develop my gaming messiah.

As for your wife and towns, you could potentially end up having towns near one another, but you won't know until land selection. Now one of you could sell your title when they start allowing it and gain EP for buying lands and buildings during exposition, and then when you guys marry in game you could split the title that you kept.

How it will work for Astronomer tier is we will select our town during Land Selection, at some point we will pick the family within the town and make it our own (we can change the surname thanks to one of the perks we will be getting), and then during Expo we will be buying lands and setting up the town.

Though truth be told we don't really know how everything is going to work, and everything can change this early on.

Okay thanks. I have been reading as much as I can when I get a chance I know though that there are a lot of people on here with a lot of knowledge about the game already so I wanted a quick answer. But I will keep reading haha. This game sounds super awesome and I cant wait till it actually comes out. I think it will be all we want and more.

Bullet you'll be able to pledge to your count friend in the land selection.

Well the devs havent explicitly said how land selection is going to work in detail, so while you could pledge to your friend its still up in the air how likely that a spot in their lands will be open. Hopefully the devs will allow some means for your count friend to make accommodations to save space in their lands for you.

Just 1 more thing. If you're a baron and your wife is a normal citizen citizen or whatever package she picks, if she marries you ingame you can grant her control of your barony/town with a contract, so you can rule 1 barony/town together.

You don't have to marry someone to have them help rule your lands.

Can be done just through a contract.

If you marry you two can choose which heir gets the title and then which of you will play said heir and this pass on your title to someone else.

But just to rule have powers you can just do that via a contract without the mess of getting married.
