    Having a non-magic caster lord-buff wagon is actually pretty cool for campaigns if I want to keep using low-tier units. Also, his design is 10/10, Greasus eat your heart out. It's as funny as it is sad that CA is at their very best when they are apologizing but this DLC looks amazing so I am not complaining.

    10:50 Well it matters very much for Kugath aswell since it was a major issue he had with his starting position, his capital could only spread a plague to 1 of the 3 other regions from the province and that was it. His growth will be so much stronger now if he can spread a +25 growth plague to all 4 regions of his starting province.
