Did the Newest Patch (e1.0.4) have an Impact on Snowballing?

[Empress Ira]

I know there was changes in the patch notes to help with the issue. I'm just wondering if it actually helped before i start another character.

It might take a day or 2 for people to really playtest this.

place your character in a town and set the game on full speed ahead ... then come back in the morning. What is the state of the world?

Clearification about one improvment:

Clan and Party

• After some time during a campaign, some lords were remaining without troops in their party because of financial problems and constantly being harassed by bandits. Lords now manage their finances more effectively and take troops from garrisons if they are at risk of going bankrupt. This was one reason for the snowball effect in the campaign, with kingdoms being eliminated too easily.

This was one of the main reasons of snowball efect (one kingdom ruling all world) but there are still another reasons causing this and we continue working on this to make more balanced world without decreasing number of hostile actions happening in world.

In first 1.0.0 one kingdom was ruling all world in average 1088-1089
In 1.02 average go up to 1090
In 1.04 average is now rised up to 1092

There are still problems and still we cannot guarentee one kingdom will not rule all world without player interaction however in every patch we will develop this area and soon until 1100s you will not experience this.
