I’ve put a lot of deep thought into lancaster. I personally think the civ is an interesting design however it does need some fine tuning.
By making the manors take up twice the current amount of space, it wouldnt be possible to build within the radius of all other defensive emplacents, it would also make the counterplay practically more effective, since currently the smaller size of the manor makes it quite difficult to find surface area with RAMS in a feudal push.
I think this would be a significant change that would balance the civ greatly.
