[1.2.0.226271] Minor faction declared war on my level 1 clan

[Aelender]

The Embers of Flame declared war on me on day 30 of a freshly started game. I've never met them, I've declared no alliances, I have no mercenary contract. I'm just wandering around killing looters.

The only notable thing I've done is rescue daughters for landowners. The declaration did happen relatively soon after helping return a daughter.

The same thing happened to me, but it was a different mercenary faction. I didn't rescue anyone's daughter first. I was also only wandering around killing looters. The three parties in the mercenary faction were on the other side of the map at the time.

That actually happened to me before also. I think is based on companions, you probably just recruited to clan some "of the embers" guy and that pissed off the faction.
