Never going to happen anyway but the changes you feel are not something we did but simply stuff Taleworlds did in their engine as always randomly changing things they don't expect.
I think it has to do with when they released that viking expansion and kept updating the engine for it, nothing we can do, nothing we can change nothing Taleworlds will change either.
The last hotfix we made did revert some minor things that we can change to 2016 stuff. so that's it. we can't do more.
The game is finished. it will not be pached anymore, the last patch only got us hate whilst it was meant as a last hooray for the community, but you guys are all only negative. so enjoy the game as it is now. we will instead focus on new titles that have a chance of bringing in any money.
