I didn't play Bethesda's Castles mobile game long because I got sick of gathering resources manually. While I was playing, I realized quickly that, since the player controls mariage and reproduction and since nobility is both hereditary and an STD, wiping out the Commoner class within a few generations is entirely plausible, thereby trivializing all disputes between nobles and commoners: Just decide in favor of the nobles since there won't be any commoners to complain. They even give you potions to age children magically, giving you more marriageable nobles quickly.

I realized after I quit that you could probably do that with races as well. After that, you would seem to have no remaining factions to fight with each other, making the king's job incredibly easy.

Am I off my rocker? Is that how people normally play the game? Does it work? I want to know without bothering to play the game for myself. We need the equivalent of Mr. Handy from Fallout Shelter.

You are thinking too simple there "King" you can't neglect your commoners or turn everyone into nobility,because then nobody will do the simple work which is needed to keep your kingdom afloat, vice versa if you have no nobles who have their duties despite many games lacking to show it, you need to balance your kingdom arround their needs if they are happy then so will be you but sometimes you will have to make decision that might turn one or the other angry so you will need to prepare something to appease them in return, the last thing you want is a rebellion and your head at the gallows Sire

he has already trouble to deal only with nobility and commoners ? pha should count himself lucky
that there are no clerics watching every step every decision he makes szay poius to our true believes or else he might have trouble with the local bishopy or church .. being excommunicated will bring him a nice little target on his back especially for neighbouring countries with the same faith or worse
