I experimented with making the king better at NTRing the player, but it's really, really hard to make that a fun mechanic. I put in a mechanic where sometimes girls would abandon their post if not utilized or treated well(what happens to normal generals, except faster) and they would go hang out with the king on their own. Problem is that was really, really annoying. I tried having the king decide to handle the problem himself where he would push forward with an army and each time his soldiers lost the player would have to send one of the girls to act as an additional unit OR pay the king ALL of their gold(min 10 million) to purchase another elite knight battalion. The king would always take the girl with the most affection, this was also extremely annoying as it constantly meant I had to babysit the king or he'd get his ass kicked.
