Questions:
Do we start with money?
Village and town ramping costs - Is that per keep, or per player?
Does building a town wall limit the population, or will they keep growing outside of that?
Do special courtiers out on assignment still take up apartment space and contribute to population growth?
What does building a second monastery do?

Is the proletariat counted or used in anyway? Or are any serfs turned proles just forgotten about?

Serfs turned into proles are forgotten about. Proles get in the way if anyone is crazy enough to try and wall a town. Proles also get in the way if you choose to let them into your castle during a siege, in which case they will eat your food.

Do we start with money?
Village and town ramping costs - Is that per keep, or per player?
Does building a town wall limit the population, or will they keep growing outside of that?
Do special courtiers out on assignment still take up apartment space and contribute to population growth?
What does building a second monastery do?

I'll fast track the first 3-5 years to speed up pop and income growth. Then change the pace to seasonal So you can maneuver against bandits springing up everywhere and such.

Populations larger than the town walls are unprotected by the town walls.

I suppose courtiers living outside shouldn't take up space. You want apartment space to facilitate local population growth.

Monasteries don't stack for now.
