Fits perfectly.

Looks good.

Ok I guess.

Not convinced.

This is bad.

This is very bad.

Perhaps have a less effective training reaction that takes materials, and a more powerful one that uses books (and perhaps coins?) Or require books in the university.

I actually like that building destroyers and tantrums can seriously hurt you. Makes fighting back sieges, actually securing your buildings and keeping the mood up (including the nobels) really importent. As long as all building destroyers are actually stoppable, not the Poltergeist idea someone dropped in another thread.

Will there be multiple levels of guild membership, or is that too complicated?

Given that 'multiple levels' pretty much means 'extra castes', I'd say that's too complicated.  Even if you considered random peasants to be "apprentices", and then had separate castes for journeyman and master guildsmen, that'd still double the number of guild-related castes.  It's an appropriate amount of complication for a magic system, and maybe even for knights (particularly if you had some clever way of deciding when a member of the squire caste should be 'knighted'), but seems a little bloated for managing everyone else.

For a limited upgrading, syndromes can do that.

I'll stick with 1 type, thats 24 castes, for now. You have to remember the micromanagement as well, if I make 5 levels, people have to select they un-upgraded people and train them 5 times over.

[Endovior]

Yeah, I can see that.  Therapist isn't great at indicating syndromes or sorting by them, but can do fine with castes.  As such, I have no problems having important skill-affecting details based on caste, but would absolutely hate any system that wanted me to do the same thing with syndromes.  Especially if that system wanted me to do the same thing with syndromes across all my generic workers, double-and-triple checking everyone, fiddling back-and-forth with workshop profiles each time to be sure I'm handing out promotions sensibly.  No, that'd be terrible.
