Whether a Duchy or a Barony is "better" depends on the context and the specific attributes associated with each title. A Duchy typically represents a larger territory and higher rank within the feudal hierarchy, often granting more power and resources. In contrast, a Barony is smaller and may have less influence but can offer a more manageable domain. Ultimately, the preference for one over the other may hinge on individual goals, such as political power versus personal governance.
