Given that Duh_Taleworlds has confirmed that there won't be a major patch today and the earliest possible date is Wednesday because of the holiday in Turkey, I thought I would share these two mods to tide people over until next week. If you're already aware of these mods or use them feel free to disregard this, but based on the number of complaints I've read I gather a large number of people aren't.
Diplomacy Fixes
Most notably this solves the problem where all kingdoms are constantly at war with one another and declare war almost immediately after peace.
Features from mod page
Community Fixes
Fixes most perks so that they work, fixes culture bonuses so that they work, shows valor/honor/etc gains and loses after an action that causes gains/loses and more
Features from mod page
If you use both mods, be sure that community fixes is loaded after diplomacy fixes in the load order. Also be sure to use the version of the mod in the files page listed specifically for 1.4.1, not the ones for 1.4. Do note that both mods aren't perfect and are active works in progress, but at least are safe to add/remove from any save file without causing issues. Also feel free to show the mod creators your support and thanks for their efforts.
I personally am very excited for the new perks being worked on and war/peace system involving payments and am very appreciative of the developers hard work, but until those come out I feel these have made 1.4.1 playable for me.
Diplomacy Fixes

Features from mod page
War Exhaustion
- Stops your kingdom from making war/peace decisions with your say. Now you're in full control!
- Allow the player to use Declare War/ Propose Peace buttons on the Kingdom Diplomacy screen at the cost of influence.
- Allows the player to send a messenger to any character at the cost of influence. This can be done on the Encyclopedia page or the Diplomacy page of Kingdom management.
- Full Localization Support
- War Exhaustion mechanic, where kingdoms are more likely to propose peace as time goes on. (v1.1.0)
- If you led the assault on a settlement, you'll get the option to keep your fief instead of a vote determining the owner. (v1.1.3)
- War Exhaustion display on the Kingdom/Diplomacy screen. (v1.1.6)
- War reparations cost (gold) if the player proposes peace when losing a war. (v1.1.
- Granting fiefs to clans of your kingdom via the Kingdom Management screen and Encyclopedia. (v1.3.0)
- Added maximum war exhaustion threshold for AI kingdoms to declare war so they won't declare war with high war exhaustion. (v1.3.1)
- Almost everything is configurable!
War exhaustion is a new mechanic introduced in v1.1.0. This is a score that builds up over time until it forces a kingdom to make peace with another kingdom. Contributing factors include:
Currently, the score required for an AI faction to propose peace with either the player or another AI faction is 100. The amount of war exhaustion incurred by an event is configurable in the mod options page!
- Duration of the war
- Casualties
- Settlements Lost
- Villages Raided

Claim Player-Taken Settlements
The ability to claim player-taken settlements without a vote was introduced in v1.1.3. Within an in-game hour of taking a settlement, you will be prompted about whether you want to claim it for yourself. This will bypass the vote and give you your settlement!
Sending Messengers
Messengers can be sent to any character through that character's Encyclopedia page. Messengers can also be sent to kingdom leaders through the Kingdom Diplomacy page. Sending messengers costs influence. These costs can be configured through the Mod Options page on the main menu.
Note: As of v1.1.5 messengers will not arrive when the player is engaged in another event, like a siege, raid, or staying at a settlement. This was done to prevent some crashes until I am able to work it out. If the player is on the world map doing other things, messengers will arrive.
