SO would a "Single-player character" Have to somehow defeat a lord or king or something in order to claim a kingdom to rule? Because if so then they wouldn't be able to usurp any of the Nation Players in order to do so right? According to what you said about how war and stuff works. I'm not saying that it would be possible but just wondering.

Sorry for the delay, and my thoughts were that once a Single-Player Character believably amasses more than a hundred followers, he/she/they is no longer a Single Character, but a Nation/Faction for the purposes of Warplans. That, and Single-Player Characters are much better at assassination/espionage/duels than a Nation Player, due to blahblahblah individual heroism, and can thus gain the assets they need to attract said hundred-plus followers. It's just that the more responsibilities they have, the more their individual actions suffer.

Basically, you are powerful as a Single-Character, and you can use that power to 'evolve' into a Nation, or at least a Proto-Nation. However, by doing so, you exchange your old skills for new ones.

Sorry if I'm being unclear.
