Vassalage

The Renown bonus a liege of each rank gives, vassal limits, oath terms, titles and feudal duties.

A vassal earns 1.25% more Renown per rank of their liege, up to 20%. The liege takes a tribute of 5% on top of the vassal's village Renown. Requests lapse after 72 hours; a lord who leaves or is released waits 12 hours before swearing again. Both are real hours.

Oath terms

The liege sets the tribute between 3% and 10% when accepting. Each point above 5% takes 0.5 of a point off the vassal's bonus; each point below adds as much (never below 0 or above 20%).

Tribute	Bonus under a rank 4 liege	Bonus under a rank 8 liege	Bonus under a rank 12 liege	Bonus under a rank 16 liege
3%	+6%	+11%	+16%	+20%
5%	+5%	+10%	+15%	+20%
10%	+2.5%	+7.5%	+12.5%	+17.5%

Titles

A liege holds a title by how many vassals they have. The perk is added to their Renown multiplier.

Title	Vassals	Renown perk
Lord of the Manor	1	+1%
Castellan	3	+2%
Count	6	+3%
Count Palatine	9	+4%
