v4.0 final fixes the lords disappearing. However it does not fix already disappeared lords. Lords will properly respawn
if they're dead. So use your influence to bring them to a battle they'll lose =3.
i didnt start my kingdom until after the update, and I cant find the lords, which is why I cant get them killed.
Anyway, if this is an issue created by using an old savefile I will just restart, just making sure.
