How do I manage Loyalty Drift?

[Talgorn]

I want to upgrade my cities, make them stable and profitable but I'm having a lot of trouble keeping loyalty up.

Any advice?

I've been using companions of the same culture as governors to try to hold things together, but with increasingly negative loyalty drift values it seems the best I can do is always have my settlements on Festival and Games.

loyalty drift tries to make loyalty 50. if you have less, it will start increasing.
i'd say leave it alone.
security gives a boost to loyalty but keeping a strong garrison is expensive.
idk if it was changed.

Check for issues that are reducing loyalty or security (which lowers loyalty too), you can even just right click to town remotely and see if there's any issues doing this. See if you brother (in campaign) or spouse has relevant perks to increase security, loyalty (or reduce wages), sometimes this is more benefit then just the same culture governor bonus. You can get some relevant perks such a renowned marksmen pretty easily on any wanderer/family too, just stick xbow on them and use in battle.
