Diplomacy 4.3 - Mrcmod and bugfixes Diplomacy 4.3 bug fixes

This is my personal modification to Diplomacy 4.3. In general, this mod increases the sandbox potential by extending its functionality and adding additional features. I'll try to list everything I can remember:

1.2 Updates and Fixes (Should be compatible with games saved from previous versions)

Fixed an issue where Forsaken Hero Lady could not be accepted as a vassal if they swapped kingdoms;

Npc lords will now exchange fiefdoms with other lords to keep their holdings close to each other;

The impact of tactics on combat advantage has been doubled (players and NPCs);

Hiring companies with commissions less than -5 cannot be hired;

When the player is the ruler of a faction, attacking a neutral/friendly party will cause "casus belli" and/or break any treaties they have

Main features:

12 starters for the Kingdom plus 2 failed due to players moving up if they wanted to. Non-native kingdoms are actually ruled by former Pretenders.

The ability to kill other lords and kings.

Ability to appoint a new king of a player's kingdom. You can then leave, or stay with the faction as a vassal.

Can marry NPC Kings/Queens and become the ruler of the kingdom. It functions similarly to Diplomatic Pretender Marriage, but with some modifications.

2 new faction troop trees - This troop uses items I pulled from Freds' pile of armor.

Mercenary parties can be hired by kingdom leaders. They are native troops from the custom battle mode.

In general, many features regarding managing kingdoms and vassals have been added/expanded/modified.

Bug fixes from Diplomacy and Native games:

Marriage of fixed companions.

Changed to expand support for Kingdom Hero ladies. If their husband/guardian dies, they usually become heroes.

Player copies will no longer spawn as deserters (hopefully).

Fixed some issues regarding player spouses and expanded its functionality.

When a kingdom is defeated, they are properly destroyed and relations with other kingdoms reset. (No eternal war with a losing faction).

Many of the actions players can take to gain negative relations without declaring war on the minister are no longer possible. I may be missing some, but the idea is to not allow player factions to develop negative relationships with other kingdoms without declaring war. (I changed the method of declaring war so you can use the same "excuse" NPCs use).
