  of a Duke or a Knight in a kingdom.
• Your objective is to gain as much land and money
  as possible for your territory

Additional Roles for Knights

• Ex Chequer (Treasurer-type-person)
• In charge of keeping all accounts and inventories
  for the dukedom. This includes not only money
  but also accounts due from monasteries, towns,
  cathedrals, and other sources of revenue.
• Cartographer
• This person must maintain accurate maps round by
  round that depict any exchanges of territories
  that occur during the game. Needless to say,
  large colorful maps receive more credit (read
  Ducats) than the boring black and white maps I
  pass out.
•  
• Chief Diplomat
• This person is responsible for communication with
  other dukedoms and for the arrangements of
  treaties, alliances, and other matters. This
  person should understand that some deviousness
  might be required during the game to benefit his
  or her dukedom. This person may not be the only
  person communicating with other dukedoms but this
  person will be expected to be aware of the
  goings-on.
• Marshall
• This person should serve as the chief military
  advisor to the duke and will have to work with
  all other advisors. They must be constantly
  aware of other dukedoms options including the
  purchase of mercenaries, size of regular forces,
  and weapons available to both his dukedom and
  others.
• Scribe
• Records the happenings in your dukedom as well as
  those around you

  treasurer, cartographer, diplomat, scribe and
  marshal

  think might be rewarded with gold

  form an alliance/nonaggression pact with one of
