So, I've been trying to play as Cairne using the first start date, and every time I do he ends up either dead or infirm within a year of playing. This is most definitely a bug as that's not at all what's supposed to happen to him. Also, a small note, the centaurs special units are insanely strong, my army of 2000 men got obliterated by just 500 of their special units. if this is intentional it seems very off.
