Progress is slow. I've spent the past few days working on the relationship between Culture - Kingdom - Clan - Troops - Settlements. My goal is to introduce a standalone Dwarf culture into the game that isn't tied to the Empire culture. Something always crashes along the way, particularly when it comes to Culture. Applying a new culture to an existing settlement results in crashes, and creating new settlements is tricky. I'm doing everything I can find workarounds. I'm looking in to Adonnays Troop Changer as a temporary solution.
