I originally thought that the imperial wizard lords were just standard lords that you could recruit through the normal means. I like the interesting use of the VC blood kiss mechanic instead. However, I worry about the balance of it.

I know that that mechanic is has only five bloodlines. Does that mean that it this mechanic is limited to only five of the colleges or could it eventually be expanded to include all eight? Also, having tiers unlocked by money, which isn't as hard to get as blood kisses, seems kind of imbalanced. What if you had all eight colleges, but only one tier per college which unlocked the ability to recruit those types of lords and a small faction (maybe race) wide bonus?

Overall I like the addition, but I don't completely agree with its current implementation. After all, even if one does like it, it is a fairly significant departure from the rest which just introduces a veriety of new lords (with some associated bonuses for certain lords). Whereas the colleges introduce a whole new and powerful mechanic to the Imperial faction. As such, would it be possible to seperate the colleges of magic from the rest of the mod for those who wish to use the new lords, but not the colleges mechanic?
