So I've played around a bit and I noticed some issue's.

If you play with shattered world, all great conquerors are on the righteous path. All their bloodline bonuses are also righteous path only. If they fall into the demonic path, they'll lose the bonus for their bloodline.

I don't mind that the majority of the great conquerors would be righteous, since righeous is easier to deal with and they don't eat your courtiers/vassals. But it would be nice when there are 4 great conquerors, that at least 1 is of the demonic path and their bloodline bonus is also for the demonic path. Because then you can get a late-game crusade against righeous or demonic path.

Now? After 50-100 years, most of the world converts to righteous; depends on how many great conquerors you have, the more you have, the faster the entire world becomes righeous.

And while there are some wars here and there, most wars are fought by the great conquerors. Even when a lot of cultivators reach nascent soul, they aren't as agressive as when you start out with all holding types are tribal. Then the ai goes nuts with wars and within 50 years there are kingdoms and empires.

I think that the synergy between being a cultivator and the tribal buildings that cost prestige instead of gold is what makes the tribal holdings go beserk.

Also playing as a merchant republic is a bit bugged. I tried to make a merchant republic from a tribal kingdom and when it converted, I lost the ability to go in closed doors cultivation. I only could go in hiding when someone plotted to murder me.
