A way to disable automanage for settlements
Description: Since the developers did not provide the ability to disable automanage without editing the game code (which is why the tax level settings for settlements in this modification are not saved (Control Multiple Factions)) - one person (whom I don’t know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I don’t remember the nickname ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), but there’s something like h*0) made a program that turns it off (automanage).

How to use?
When creating a new campaign:
1. Launch the game and wait until the main menu loads.
2. Run the downloaded program (do not close it (do not press the OK button) before exiting the game).
3. Create a campaign and play.

When loading a save/while continuing an existing campaign (in this method, you can swap points 2 and 3 at your discretion):
1. Launch the game and wait until the main menu loads.
2. Run the downloaded program (do not close it (do not press the OK button) before exiting the game).
3. Click Continue/Load Save.

Possible problems:
To disable automanage, it is enough to change just one byte during the game (exe file), but then DRM protection ("anti-piracy" protection) will work, so you need to disable it as well.
Since the author of the program is not very strong in programming and reverse engineering, he had to disable DRM protection in a “specific” way, because of this, sometimes it (DRM protection) is disabled incorrectly. Because of this, one of the following can happen (if you are interested in the frequency, this is random, but for me this can happen one game session out of 15-20):

1. Sometimes (after 2-7 minutes after starting this program), anti-piracy protection is triggered and the game begins to “disable” the mouse and/or keyboard (only in the game).
P.S. If this did not happen after 2-7 minutes after launching this program, then everything has definitely worked correctly and DRM protection will definitely not turn on, even after 3 hours of playing.
Solution: save (the game does not “disable” the mouse/keyboard forever, but pretends that they are “buggy” - it turns it off for a short time (for 5-10 seconds), and then turns it on again, so you will have opportunity to save); restart the game and program.

2. Sometimes, when transitioning from a campaign map to a battle, the loading screen bar may “freeze” at the end (or almost at the end) and does not transition from the loading screen state to the troop placement state for a very long time.
P.S. If this did not happen when loading the first battle, then this certainly will not happen in any other battle in this game session.
Solution: minimize the game; disable the program (click OK); return to the game - the game will continue loading and you can start the battle; save after the battle; restart the game and program.

3. Sometimes, on the battle map, after placing your troops and after pressing the start battle button, the game immediately freezes (sometimes not immediately, but after some time, until the AI decides to start moving troops).
P.S. If this did not happen in the first battle, then this certainly will not happen in any other battle in this game session.
Solution: minimize the game; disable the program (click OK); return to the game - the game will hang and you can continue the battle; save after the battle; restart the game and program.

Attention: since the program injects itself into another process and edits its code, the anti-virus program may be triggered. Therefore, it is at your discretion whether to download or not.
