You know, as far as keeping players feeling like they are relevant, I just want to point out one thing that I thought was awesome, that I don't know if everyone knows.<br/><br/>On the surface, it probably appeared Morticia wasn't doing to much. But for the past couple turns, I had secret NPC allies that were performing actions unknown to the public. And I thought this was a great idea, as not only does it keep people involved, but also allows different playstyles. Want to be the scheming, underhanded aspirant? you can do that! Noble and trying to please everyone? You can do that too!
