- Unlanded AI Vampires will now heal superficial damage every 3 years (simulating Blood Heal)
- Added a prestige cost to the vanilla interaction to break up with a lover (much higher if breaking up with a soulmate)
- Decani can now employ Cult Leaders. Also, Cult Leaders need to be your Cultists (so they don't end up indoctrinating themselves)
- Binding Demons is now easier for characters who are intelligent (from intelligence traits), learned (Scholar/Mystic), or skilled in Demonology. It is harder for characters with low Learning. Also, the negative opinion modifier from a failed binding now decays (very slowly)
- Removed the Contact Spirits and Contact Wraiths umbra actions and their associated modifiers

- Removed the Hive Mind, Renegades, and Celestial Army government types
- Infernalists now keep a splat-appropriate government type if possible, instead of switching to the Infernal Court government every time. This also fixes a bug where Vampire infernalists would lose their domicile
- Hunters and Inquisitors don't have powerful vassals anymore (meaning they won't suffer from the malus for wanting to be in council positions)
- AI rulers now revoke baronies in their domain, up to their domain limit. This means they're somewhat richer in the earlygame and will put up more of a fight
