[BUG]Gran Colombia only has two 4 properties, for some reason Kalmarunion owns it's other two (startpos problem)
[WIP]Some factions really lack attention: Boers (scenes), Qing (roster), and Manchuria (scenes)
[BUG]Some villages have been known to CTD at a certain time of day: Tismirr, Khevsureti (really wanted to do a custom scene for this one), Konosha
[WIP]Some Castle guard's uniforms don't correspond with the faction (due to replacing factions and my laziness)
