My thoughts exactly. It’s a good thing I found this thread since I was just about to start a new one. Losing a settlement like this would frustrate me so much that I would either start a new campaign or back up my iron man savefile so this stuff does not happen. As long as there is a possibility to reclaim the village, be it by assault or paying 100k crowns or building a new settlement instead I would be fine with this change. As it is now it would really frustrate me.
