Anatomy of a Holding

[AndrewTall]

With the major buildings named, and Paid for by the PCs, there's more emotional content when it gets destroyed for whatever reason

Now that's a side benefit of a holding = buildings approach that I hadn't considered, adds to book-keeping bu the player can track it so no harm to the long suffering GM. You could use that with a more abstract system to a degree but it wouldn't be quite the same, naming/describing military brotherhoods and suchlike should have a similar effect though.
