[Beta 1.3.0] Vassals going bankrupt, never building up again

[Tintenkobold]

So I think we've got a new problem here. I noticed that my vassals got captured alot by looters and bandits. I investigated their behaviour and this is what I vitnessed:

• About half of my vassals has zero money and no troops
• They sit in their castle and literally wait for a wonder

Sometimes they go outside and try to recruit, this is what's happening:

• They buy 10-20 recruits
• They starve because they have no money
• They become slow because the whole party is wounded
• They get crushed by bandits and looters and lose items/money
• If they don't get crushed, they commit suicide by attacking looters
• Waiting in castle without money repeats

I donated some of them 100k which got them up and running again.

All my vassals have fiefs, some of them towns with medium to high prosperity. So I don't think that they don't get money, they just are very bad at managing their life.

Did someone encounter similar problems?

I suggest you to post this in a bug report section. The problem seems to be quite serious and the devs should be aware of it ASAP.

Wonder where do they get their money from. Can't they loot after each battle? Fighting lords is the most profitable business I found in Calradia and they fought lords a lot.

I vitnessed 2 different types of vassals:

• 1) Those who never lost a fight, fighting others, making money, protecting their fiefs
• 2) Those who lost 1 or more fights, struggling to build up again, going bankrupt after having been captured multiple times by looters. They have income, but they lose it after making one step out of their castle because they are weak (ok!) and stupid (needs fix)

I know it needs a fix but this stuff is very amusing too. I do want them to be a bit smarter with money and recovering, but I also want them to have these problems sometimes too.
