I do see what you're saying, but the way the game needs to work, each fief needs to have its own manor. You're absolutely right in that castles would protect over a large amount of land, and I had thought about putting up restrictions as such, but as it's impossible to know exactly how everyone's land is going to be made up, or where I'll need to fit them on the map, it really wouldn't be fair to restrict your castles. Thus, each fief can have its own castle.The history would focus solely on the lordships and politics. Minor House details wouldn't come into it.

I do consider my Forts and Outposts as minor, not castles, they are merely border patrol and protection.
