Changes

User Interface for Sandbox Kingdom creation
A new shortcut, "Left Ctrl" (like Left Shift) has been added to affect the entire stack with the action (e.g Transfer, Upgrade etc.)
Added new images for map notification circles, settlement owner changed and siege underway.
Barter auto offer button will turn green if the current status of the barter is acceptable.
"Army Created" map notification inspection and Kingdom army "show on map" button now will directly focus on the army, if that army is currently visible on the map, instead of showing the army's target.

Fixes

Now non-traded item prices in inventory are updated correctly. i.e. If the player sold a horse, only that horse's price would be updated but the market price for the same category horses would also change but not show. This didn't result in any miscalculation of the total cost of the transaction, it was purely visual and it's now fixed.

Fixed perks vertical and horizontal placements in character developer in non 16:9 aspect ratios.

Fixed a bug that caused map event icons being shown below the map
Fixed a bug that caused kingdom decision map notification item not getting removed after leaving a kingdom

Battles and Sieges

Auto Calculation Improvements
Troop formation spawn positions did not match formation movement targets at the beginning of missions. This was fixed.
Players can now give formation arrangement orders (shield wall, etc.) at the beginning of missions. Such orders will now override the default stop order.
Due to a bug in hideouts, the empty formations in the player's team were not under the player's control and therefore, when troops were transferred, they couldn't be controlled anymore. This was fixed.
The main agent and other lords now preserve their level of detail when they die in a mission.

Combat AI

In certain siege scenes, troops would start running between two siege towers instead of climbing. This issue was resolved and major improvements were made about the problems in pathfinding over siege towers and climbing ladders (especially ladders of siege towers).
Increased distance between friendly troops. This improves the spacing inside combat and reduces friendly troops hindering themselves

Character Development System

Major changes and fixes have been made for two-handed skill perks.
Added secondary effects of one-handed perks.
Fixed charm, leadership, trade & medicine perk bugs.
Fixed a problem where it was not possible to select newly changed perks in older save files.
Fixed a perk exploit that caused huge troop experience gain.

Clan and Party

Added 160+ ladies and a few young male lords to the clans.
Fixed a bug where the player's banner was not visible before clan tier 2.
Heroes can now marry after age 45.
NPC parties now also visit neutral towns and villages to recruit and buy food.

Armies

Disabled defection behaviour for NPCs that are in armies.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

Implemented War and Peace Kingdom Decisions that are accessible from the Kingdom Diplomacy Screen. Kingdom Decisions now show support for all types of decisions.
Implemented Sandbox Kingdom Creation, which is possible through the clan screen and not dependent on the main storyline. Players need to have at least 1 settlement and a tier 4 clan. Then players can select their kingdom's culture (consisting of their settlements' culture or their own clan's culture), select their initial policies (up to 4) and, finally, select the name for their new Kingdom.
Fixed a bug where traits and skills did not affect persuasion chances.
Fixed a bug where safe passages that were previously agreed upon were not working as intended after the game was loaded.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

Fixed a bug that caused a "Capture the Enemy" menu button to be activated after raiding a village.
When we request a meeting from the outside of a castle or settlement, every noble will now be on the list of accessible characters.
Players can now recruit mercenaries from the tavern menu.

Quests & Issues

Implemented a new quest. Lord parties will ask the player to bring horses (or camels) when they don't have enough mounts for their troops on foot.
Adjusted the Extortion By Deserters Quest difficulty. The settlement defender party spawned during Extortion By Deserters quest now uses the default militia template of the settlement's culture. The Deserter party will no longer disappear when the Extortion By Deserters Quest ends but rather becomes a regular bandit party. Added new notifications to the Extortion By Deserters quest to make it easier for the player to complete the quest.
Fixed the face key of the Spy Among Us quest character "Confident Contender".
Fixed a bug with the Rival Gang Leader quest where the troop selection screen for the companion solution was populated with prisoners only.
Fixed a bug that caused players to get stuck in dialogues of main storyline quests.

Conversations & Encounters

Fixed a rare bug that caused an infinite dialogue loop after barter.
Fixed a bug that caused resetting the amount of gold that is carried in a caravan after a trade.
Fixed a few minor issues in the Rival Gang Leader quest.

Other

An NPC was added to the ranged tutorial area.
Fixed a bug that causes some thrones to be unusable.
Fixed a bug that causes some child NPC's to fly.
When a hideout is cleared, the surrounding bandit parties get new ai so the probability of reinfesting the same hideout decreases.
