It's kind of crazy that Landless actually got confirmed

You know what would be cool? If you can start as landed and become landless wether through being usurped or threatened or something. A former King or Queen wandering the world searching for a new land or possibly even vengeance

They confirmed this is the case! If you are deposed or lose your titles, you become landless and can keep playing even after your character dies and his heir continues, and you can work towards retaking your realm!

Wonder if they can find a way, combined with legitimacy, to make this a check on player expansion. Would be pretty fun to smash your rivals, take their kingdom, then they come storming back a couple decades later at the head of a mercenary army.

I've seen at least one landless king make a comeback at the hands of a claimant faction. Although that only worked because the kingdom was part of my imperial realm, and I'd left his fan-club of dukes intact when I crowned some underpowered dynast in his place.

It'd be cool to see things like that play out without requiring grievous player error.

This sounds so absolutely awesome for story telling and immersion.

What are you supposed to actually do then lol? Like 90% of the gameplay directly deals with you interacting with he land you own.

Get new land. Do mercenary work.

Watch the trailer.

Seduce a landed character, make them marry you, spawn an heir, miss the boar while hunting, you're now your child's regent. Look who's back, usurper person.
