Ahh, looks like my feedback was based on the version 1.0 dragons quest, not the 1.0.1 dragons quest. Testing with 1.0.1, and I'm not seeing any mention of local government (or tourist areas, or law enforcement) regardless of the local government's presence, absence, or hostility.
Which doesn't quite match your description of the change, but it's better than the original version mentioning local authorities that just weren't there.
> The quest icons are nice, too; I'm not sure if the image resolutions work out, but if they do, would it be possible to get a few extra faction flags along similar lines?
Can you expand on what you mean by this?
The faction flags that you can choose from when starting your own faction! It's, okay, maybe a bit out-of-scope for what your mod does, but I'd like to be able to give my faction a nice dragon-themed flag.
