2) Does the castle get super crowded in a well developed kingdom with the Populous mod? With renown up a good bit and territories annexed, the war strategy table gets swarmed a lot... and there's always a large group following the minstrel.
Also I assume the Populous mod doesn't adversely affect any quests involving the adviser with there being more than one? (And why more than one adviser anyway? He makes quite a nuisance of himself hogging the scribe table all the time and throwing fits whenever I have to use it to do something... multiply that times four and I can see the pit fiend getting a regular diet of Adviser kibble.)
The No-auto swordfighting mod is awesome by the way. A thousand and one blessings on you good sir.

1) My Monarch's servants follow him around, but I think it might depend where he's headed. It seems to happen alot and it looks good. I change them all to look like guards because it looks better. I'm fairly sure the game uses only one to be the 'call for food' servant. The rest are just nice additions, they scrub the floor etc, at least, mine always look busy.
2)It depends. I've had this mod in since it was available, and last week was the busiest I ever saw it. So awesomely busy I took a screen cap of it. It varies. You get 4 royal advisors, 8 guards, 4 servants, 2 town criers, and 3 squires, the squires are a little creepy because they always all look the same, it's only the skintone that varies between them, and they follow each other around all the time. None of the other additions do this.
3)No, the game picks a default advisor and sticks with them through that kingdom. If you tell the Monarch to use the scribe table, the advisor should immediately finish what he's doing and vacate the seat. Mine always has.
I love the populous mod. It's one I would not be without. The castle looks way better with all the additions. Looks cool if you have a really long table and call them all to a meal. Tickled me first time I saw it, but I admit I'm easily amused :P
Hope this helps
Try it out. If it turns out to be too busy for you, you can always uninstall it. Uninstalling won't remove any additions from a kingdom where they've already spawned though, but subsequent kingdoms will be as intended by the game.
