Wow, 6 days later^^
I am no certain, but I think as count he cannot see how much silver is deployed on his shire, but he may see if he is able to start any buildings at his shire, the upgrades costing too much do have no button to built
But to get on the more (or less) interesting point of ranking-points:
They are "split" in appraisal, Duel, Turney and Battlepoints.
appraisal: You may give your "vote" to up to three different Knights same time, you are able to find a full list on "Knights -> ranking-list" (the three boxes on top). So lets use Lysander as leader of the ranking for example, he has by now three of it, so there are three Knights trusting in him and giving him their "vote".
This is only influencing the ranking, nothing else.
Duel: You will gain Duel-Points by winning a duel over 100 (or more) VP.
Turney: You will gain Turney Points in Turneys, one for melee, one for each round you are able to go in "duel" discipline and same in joust, the ranking-list shows the sum of them.
Battles: Little more difficult since not every "Battle" on the Reports are real "Battles", e.g. conquering a shire from the free peasants is certainly no battle (are only granted if there is an "Owner"

. And the armies shouldn't be too much away of each other in number... which has nothing much to do with strength as we know
Quests and Opponents beaten in battle do have no influence on the ranking.
So here we go, each "class" has a number of 200 Ranking-Points to give to the
FIRST in each category, Gerard de Saint Omer has 13 appraisal points, these are 100 of his 209 Ranking-Points. Second place is split in between Rhodry, Jjah Virillis and Arn de Gothia, here it is getting "tricky" since I am no certain about the calculation.
Formula should be about: 200/13*10 = 153,8, so each of this three ones will gain 153 (,8) points for ranking.
200 = maximum of ranking points in each class
13 = best players sum
10 = sum the player has you want to calculate
Same with Duel, Turney and Battle-Points.
Least for my Jessica it works, here as example:
Jessica has 5 appraisal points: 200/13*5 = 76,9
Jessica has 30 Duel-Points, best is Lysander with 126. 200/126*30 = 47,6
Jessica has 0 Turney-Points, well, each multiplication by zero is zero, so 200/88 (of Klasikas Kobrietis) * 0 = 0
Last but not least 1 Battle-Point, Beor Baldrand is best with 24 so we have 200/24*1 = 8,3
Summing all up will be: 76.9 + 47,6 + 8,3 = 132,8
rounded down to 132 Ranking-Points
