Increased robustness for people whose houses or units change while under the effects of Political Marriage or an assassination attempt

Fixed a bug when destroying a settlement while a Vampire Noble is trying to corrupt it

Updated Hirelings so they won't move across map layers unless underground awareness is at 100%

Fixed a rare bug where the End Vendetta challenges at a location would fail to update.

-Vampire Nobles will no longer spread liking for the Undead directly, instead increasing the local ruler’s liking for the Undead.

-Sovereigns will no longer think about general fondness for fighting when deciding whether to assassinate a neighbouring sovereign – just personal beef. Peace-loving sovereigns are also no longer more likely to assassinate to prevent war.

-Fixed a typo on Physician mod config text.

-Introduced a starting cooldown to Political Marriage.

-Refactored some general code to make rare bugs less likely.

-Reduced Political Marriage motivation

-Compatibility patch for the upcoming DLC

-Text fixes

-Fixed a rare issue where assassins don’t actually try to assassinate their target

-Rulers will now only hire assassins to prevent shadow spread if it would impact a neighbour’s lands instead of just the target’s own

-Reduced the number of times challenges, ruler actions and incidental effects are updated for smoother turns

-Fixed a rare crash when updating the End Vendetta challenge, I hope

-Increased the Light of Soul motivation drop for Welcome Deep Ones, Welcome Vampires, Foster Deep Ones, Demonic Companion, Demonic Pact and Seek the Hunger.

-Reduced Lightbringers’ motivation to build Wards, making them more likely to Drive Back Shadow instead, and made their Drive Back Shadow challenge target more intelligently

-Undead Army now replaces the location’s previous army, if any. Devastation and Unrest inflicted by it are reduced.
