Thanks much for the advice, had a look at them a while ago but it's really helpful when I'm actually setting things up. Watch this space. :)
Yeah, I think it's a really good idea. I might be imagining it, but I thought I maybe saw it on one set of rules when I was looking around...I'll see if I can find those rules! They gave the amount as a % of the households money and possibly land, with the exception of peasants who could give their daughters furniture when they married, because there wouldn't generally be a lot of money kicking around. I don't know as much as I'd like to, because I really don't know if there was any specific laws about how much should be given etc - but giving land might be another thing to consider, (although I don't know if that would work in game very well). I think it depended on how much the family had/wanted to give, but that's just on observations of mine so they might be wrong. Anyway, I really like the idea of paying x amount to climb the ladder, keep the peasants down! :stuck_out_tongue: Sorry for the rambling, ehe.
