Actually if it was to be overhauled, I'd like to see noble points
	and skill points seperated out.  At the moment if I want to
	learn a new school of magic, I can either wait a game year for
	my next noble point to come in, or I can find some solo noble,
	capture him, heal him, terrorize him, then use last rights.

It seems silly that taking out some skilless noble should next
	month allow me to learn a new magic school.

I _like_ the idea of noble points and the trade off between
	OATHing your nobles and simply having more nobles available,
	however I think that noble points and skill points should be
	kept seperate.

As for goals, I've said it before and I'll say it again, make
	your own.  I for one like competing against the game, but I
	can see how after a while that might get boring.  Eventually
	I might find some other faction and go after them, but for
	the moment at any rate there are much better ways to spend
	my time than killing off other players.

Bill.
