No.
Would anyone quit in frustration because of faction trees?
Perhaps.
Okay, no more FT's. The rules for OATH, HONOR, TERRORIZE and SWEAR
will change slightly. HEIR is gone. Stay tuned.
On a related note: should players be able to swear characters to
another player? Right now I disallow this. Should this be allowed,
or is potential abuse too much of a problem? I can't actually remember
what sort of abuse I was trying to protect against, when I disallowed
players giving away their units...
