Am I the only one having trouble with the faction balancing? Read trough like 3-4 pages of comments with no corroborating evidence. I've played 2.0, 2.1 and now 2.2 (shoot me I came in late) and 2.2 is the one introducing this. Tried 6 games so far (or 5 restarts, if you will) and every time both Iron Islands and Westerlands are annihilated within 60 days. This presents the problem of basically constant peace and any attempt at bringing in Wildlings or Targaryens sees them wiped out immediately as the North typically has half the Iron Islands and parts of the westerlands/crownlands to boost their troops, while the Stormlands SWARM Targaryens before they even capture their first castle. Presents very few options....

Cult Masters are for evil factions what samaritans are for good, you can give captured villagers to them for Sacrifice (to some chaos god or other I guess) and he they will reward you with your faction recruits

I had the same thing happen, for me from king Louen asking me to crack down on some night goblin lair.

Picked up someone called "Katya" in middenheim, turned out to be a normal lvl 1 troop. I assume that's a bug and it should be a generic companion?
