UI

Fixes

Fixed a bug that caused selected clan to change in Kingdom clan tab after supporting a clan.
Fixed an issue in character naming that didn't allow for 1 character names in Asian languages.
Fixed an issue that caused the raid icon to become visible in village nameplates when there is a battle happening nearby.

Battles and Sieges

Not being able to defend against ranged attacks when the Auto option was selected for blocking direction has been fixed.
AI will be less cautious while they are besieging settlements so the player has a greater chance to experience defensive sieges by breaking into a castle or town. In previous versions, the AI was giving up the siege in most scenarios when the player joined the defenders because of changed power ratios. Because of this sieges will also be won more frequently by defenders compared to past versions.

Character Development System

We have removed some of the starting equipment that was too strong or too expensive. This will create a more even starting point for each selection.
Added 24 for combat-related perks for Riding. This completes the perks for this skill.
Added 6 new campaign-related throwing perk.

Clan and Party

Starving parties healthy troops will be wounded 50% slower

Armies

AI changes its siege targets less frequently now so they lose less time while travelling from one target to another
Because of some bugs, weak factions were having problems in forming armies. Now they will form armies even if they are weak and they will not simply give up. In rare cases, some factions which have no settlements left will make comebacks by conquering a new settlement.

Kingdoms and Diplomacy

AI clans make their war/peace decisions more cleverly and take into account a broader range of situations. They generally do not want to face more than 1-2 enemies at the same time. So if they have lots of enemies they will try to make peace with some of them. This will reduce wiped out factions because in previous versions some factions were not giving logical decisions at diplomatic votings. Clans which have settlements that border the enemy will want peace more frequently. Similarly, they will not want wars in peace times. Rich kingdoms will not care about paying tribute as much as poor ones. If a faction has fewer men in garrisons or lord parties or if lots of settlements have food problems they will try to end the war with their recent enemies. There will be less snowballing due to all these changes because clans will try to act in the interest of their kingdom.

Settlement Actions (Town, Village, Castle and Hideout)

New "Barber" NPC added to the town centre of every town. For 100 denars, this NPC lets you decide on a new haircut. Depending on the culture of the town, these haircuts and beards can change.
