I made some changes to a few traits, so now Meng Huo has a bit more Authority than before and can retain the loyalty of his starting generals.
In addition to this, every faction has triggers that affect the Fealty trait, with one of them dealing with the character's personal goal. For the Southern Tribes, there is a trigger in relation to the Foreign personal goal; basically a 100% chance for +1 Fealty. However, unlike other factions, there is another trigger that similarly reduces -1 Fealty with a chance of 100%. Essentially you get messages saying there was a Fealty change, but you see the character has the exact same Fealty as the turn before, because they are receiving +1 and -1 Fealty before each turn, thus negating each other but still giving a message that there was a change.
I have fixed these issues for the next patch.
