Best of the Web - GLOG Domain play

Reading through the Manse still and I found an older post called Small GLOG Critique + 20 GLOG 'A' Templates in which Cacklecharm discusses adding a 5th level to GLOG play. This E level template would be for domain play. The idea is a good one and goes along with my own thinking actually. I find 4 levels too limiting and was thinking of 6 levels (keeping the 4 template per class though) to force some kind of multi classing. 

I was was also thinking some classes should have pre-requisites. So as you get into higher levels of play those become options. That is where Noble class could come in, you don't start as a noble but might be knighted during play, or High Priest (must have 4 Priest templates to qualify). The way I understand the GLOG you get 4 templates and then can continue play up until 10th level, you just don't get any more templates, so this would be setting you up with something different as you enter that template free late game. I was thinking these late game templates would have things like Followers (you take cultists, crew, or many goblins as a second character you control) as well as a few negatives (gotta pay money fight off schisms in your church, or duplicitous nobles, I'm not really sure about the negatives yet). The templates could also be full of much more role playing type skills (such as the Get out of Jail Free card that comes with nobility). Also these late game templates could be 2 templates or 3 templates instead of the usual 4 since you already had to earn your way.

 I liked the idea of Tiers of play in theory, but my game just went to the 2nd tier and I didn't really like the way 5E handled it. I...
