EDIT: in my late game, after ended the main storyline, I joined Northumbria faction and conquer Noregr, Danmark and half of England (from Alban to Gwynedd).
At this point is impossible to me to continue to invade the South because of rebellions started everytime on my cities o allied cities by reborn factions I destroy dozen of time in my gameplay.
Is there a way to prevent this happen?

That's awesome news and thank you, any idea if/when the source code would be updated and released to reflect the patch for those of us with modded games?

Greetings, I really wasn't aware of this post until I found one quoting it on Mod.DB. I'm so happy that the information provided by my reports were a bit useful to you and I thank you again for this incredible work of love and dedication you're putting on the crown jewel of the Mount & Blade saga!

Mmm... Better for me to start improving relations with my vassals... You that have seen my save know what I mean...

By the way, have you by chance took a look also at that problem involving lords being too slow to the point they would interrupt many of their goals? I'm afraid that this issue would be hard to address as it would mean to alter the balance around speed factors.
To sum up, with bigger kingdoms, lords will end by having more fiefs, hence more troops, thus becoming very slow. In addition, a bigger kingdom means usually bigger distances when going to a feast, to court a lady or to join a campaign. Lastly, bandits keep spawning as usual (I've discovered that on hard settings some of their parties are bigger and a slower, but this doesn't really have an impact on the problem): lords immediately try to follow outlaw parties, then switch to another one more near, and repeat this until it's time for them to change their current objective. This really creates a static situation where most of the kingdom activites get skipped and most of the villages are everyday pray of the deserters faction (which, without any other kingdom left, will spawn priests, farmers and women, sometimes still with a bandit leader).
I know it would be hard work in finding a solution without altering too much the balance between party speeds... Maybe reducing the max number of troops that lords can have in their party and, to counter this, adding more soldiers to the garrisons of their settlemens the more fiefs they have?
I tried to improve lords speed using the Save Game Editor but it's a factor way too linked to the party size and, while with hundreds of soldiers they would still be very slow, they would get insanely quick with a small warband, so I guess this canno be the solution.
A last idea would be to make so that, instead of adding to the number of troops, the more fiefs are owned the better the troops a lord's party will have, possibly with more cavalry (which should have a less party speed penality, if I recall). However I'm afraid that this is hardcoded in a way that the quality of troops is semi-permanent and would be hard to dynamically change on a number-of-owned-fiefs basis.

Thanks again for your interest and it's a great pleasure even just to speak about this wonderful world you've created!

Thank you, but, please, do not feel forced to address this "issue", the DLC is really polished as it is. Lords being too slow and too few for a map that "becomes" too big in the end of any game is, in my opinion, an unavoidable consequence of the many and complex Mount & Blade mechanics. While I think most of the players will, eventually, aim to conquer the whole map, every module, official and mod, has always been more interesting at the beginning, with the most factions and lords.

Just a quick question: does your update affects earlier saved games? Because when I loaded that famous save I've found some very weird things concerning lords (and their families) who previously left the realm.

Thanks again for everything!:MorganBlack:

1. Lords that previously "left the realm" don't have anymore the "has left the realm" description in theirs "Q" menu page, as shown here:

2. Ladies linked to the lords who previously left the realm don't show the "has left the realm" description too, instead they figure as they are vassals of "*Player Name* of the Outlaws", as shown here:

3. Lords that were still within a defeated "ghost" kingdom joined the last remaining faction now, but this is bugged: they aren't found in the capital lord's hall, instead they can be found (not always) on the map, with a party standing still with just them as single troop, as shown here:

3a. When approached, if player doesn't grant them the vassallage request, they don't do anything, and this can be done repeatedly. If they are granted the status of vassals, instead, they answer in this way:

3b. They become effectively vassals and, if they are later expelled, their family members will remain listed as "vassals of *Player name* of the *Player Kingdom name*":

3c. While above mentioned lords will be then listed as vassals of "*player name* of the Outlaws" as shown here:

The adventurers ai package given to everyone who falls into that faction seems to work now.

Thanks to you but, before everything, make sure that it's not because the new patch isn't previous-saves compatible as, in this case, you have nothing to fix module-side and just starting a new game solves all of these problems.
