Idea: Only Recruitable if Faction Leader is Imprisoned/Dead/Recruited
Currently I think recruiting can be the overpowered and one change that could make it more realistic was if you could only recruit from factions that had their leader imprisoned, dead, or recruited.

I think this also makes a lot of since with a role playing gameplay because if they had a leader, then why would they accept someone else and vice versa. Once you take away the leadership there becomes a power vacuum.

Also in the vanilla version there are some built in consequences to capturing a faction leader, so you would have to conquer and recruit from weaker factions first.

This wouldn’t apply to leaderless factions like hungry bandits etc. These could be recruited at any time.

Just a thought since it makes sense to me, I currently follow this rule myself in my gameplays.
