General:
- You will get a lot more money from looting, sacking, razing, liberating, and vassalizing.
- Killing captives after a battle will get you the most income since you can take all their belongings, while releasing them would get you the least since you most likely leave them with some basics to get them home. Also, releasing them will make your allies dislike you just a tiny bit and they most likely already love you if you're allies so it's not really a big deal, but killing them will make your enemies angrier - so you get money in exchange for making the war harder to end.
- Reskinned the Roman and Illyrian generals.

- Arranging a political marriage used to require the party's loyalty to be 10 or more to initiate, however, I don't see a reason to do this unless you want to increase the party's loyalty, therefore, that number has been lowered from 10 to -5.
