Annoying thing I noticed in 1.4.3-

[PCDug]

-90% of notable in villages have just 100 power. Couldn't find a single powerful guy in all of Vlandia or Sturgia.
-All factions seem to be on life support, no one over 5000 in strength, armies are small (perhaps intentional to reduce snowballing?)
-Factions starting wars they wont fight (vlandia has been at war with aserai for a year and a half with less then 200 total casualties).
-Sturgia's new army composition makes them unfairly hard to other faction in the early-game. They are particulary hard in real battles since the allies ai just doesn't know what to do against shield walls.Tried to fight a battle 6 times in an army losing HARD, before autoresolving for an easy win.
- My vlandia has basically no cav because there are no squires in villages, because everyone is at 100 power.
-Too many lords around. Whatever was done by adding more people from clans to the comander pool just makes it impossible to keep land safe-ish. 50 % of villages on the map are constantly burning.
-I have seen a sturgian lord leave a village with 20 brand new veteran warriors.
-I have been actively avoiding saving my family because I don't really want to pay 50 denars/day for a brother.
-Hideouts are not displaying the list of parties inside
-Most NPCs in towns have the same bugged baby face.

Oh just you wait! Playing 1.4.3 and most of my notables have -300 power 1200 days into the save and despite questing my arse off I can't seem to raise that. Villages won't grow either. I'm Vlandia and we've taken over 1/3 of the map, only Kuziat and Aserai left besides battanian, sturgian, and southern empire insurgents. It's all huge recruit armies facing down huge recuit armies besides my 245 man tier 5-6 party stomping anyone who wants to try.

The power thing is a bug. Mexxico said he’s fixed it and it will be in the next hot fix. Maybe tomorrow but who knows

I did see his quote on that. Definitely looking forward to that hotfix.

Gotta give the devs props. They squash bugs pretty damn quickly once introduced and identified.

Just leave him in a settlement. You don't pay the wages of npcs you leave behind.
