Previous Beta Hotfixes:

Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to purchase a workshop.
Fixed a bug that causes duplicate dialogue options to appear in some dialogues.
Fixed the bonus for the castle “castellan's office” settlement project.
Some lords which have a risk of going below critical money limits will stop paying wages and suffer the morale penalty only. This way they will at least keep enough money to buy food and avoid starvation. Their troops will still desert eventually if their morale drops too low.
In some cases, siege map events were stopping in the middle and the besieger party was returning to owned settlements to buy food. They will now continue the map event.
In some minor cases, armies were going to faraway towns when they ran out of food. This was fixed. The distance will be the most important factor in such cases.
Fixed a bug that prevented excessive settlement militia from decreasing.
Fixed a crash that occurred sometimes when trying to complete Gang Leader Needs Weapons quest through dialogue.
