Just 'finished' a run of Manor Lords.
The new features are all well and good, but the fact that you can't customise the barter quantities between your OWN regions, is a critical fault in the game.
There are around six regions to colonize and you can't balance the resource trade between them, and without doing that, it's almost impossible to reliably sustain a city over 400 people.
All that being said, combat is great and the game looks gorgeous.

they are currently in copy edit phase
the problem is i need others to help beyond loading new textures to a template, and i have no money to keep team around

Asmon was right. "International law doesn't mean anything if it can't be enforced."
There will be no consequences for this because nobody can do anything about it.

Basically. There's no such thing as international law - as Maj. Gaurav Arya said - unless there are big powers enforcing it.
