- I know that long term objectives are important, but in this matter I'm aiming more towards the Paradox grand strategies style, where you don't really have some specific ultimate objectives. As I said, the main goal will be definitely prosperity of your manor, but there could be some partial, specific objectives. Objectives could work much better in a case, suggested by one czech fan: You don't play as a lord, but as a administrator, i. e. the main official, and you receive objectives from the manor lord (who can be absent). But I'm not sure if this would work, because your powers as a official would be smaller and therefore there would be fewer things you could do in the game.
- Emphytheutic law: Well, the best way to explain it is probably calling it "hereditary rent". The holder of homestead still must pay rents and has some other duties, but his homestead can be inherited by his children, which isn't the case with actual rent.
- Yes, we can say, that fun and rewarding life of the lord would be success. Which mainly means enough income. Then you can make your living place comfortable, buy some art etc.
Public discussion is completely fine.
