I will believe this is the end of strat when I see the new game. I am quite sure it will take a while to complete development. So for now we are stuck in Strat. And from that perspective this is a serious bug. It creates imbalance between factions. Just imagine this tactical move - you take the fief, respec it, waste the PPs and then what? The fief is dead forever. Not good.
Anyways - daily bump.
