Influence
We have 11 Influence. That’s hilariously bad for a lordly house. For the sake of variation and to better capture that sense of a house that’s really down on its luck politically, this house won’t be led by a young bachelor lord in his prime. During house creation, heirs to houses are purchased with Influence. A first-born son costs 20 Influence while a first-born daughter cost 10, so the house’s heir would be a daughter. This doesn’t account for cousins, uncles, etc. that might be present in the family tree.
>The lord of the house has only managed to father one trueborn daughter, his sole heir. Spend 10 Influence.>The lord of the house is in ailing health with no legitimate heirs. A succession crisis is imminent. Do not spend Influence.Defense
We have 24 Defense. A standard, and perfectly reasonable choice, for this would be a Hall/Keep for 20 Defense. But I don’t want to assume we are going for reasonable here. I’ll toss in a second option that is mechanically inferior for house building outside of niche circumstances (having a defensive fallback in the form of the tower if the walls fall) yet might have a bit more sovl depending on perspectives.
>Purchase a Hall for 20 Defense. The house resides in a solid stone keep with room for traditional amenities.>Purchase a Tower+Wooden Wall for 20 Defense. The house’s immediate family resides in a modest tower surrounded by a sturdy wooden wall to keep the wilderness at bay. Some of their closest retainers reside in dwellings within the confines of the wall.
