II) Exploiting the AI
After starting a new company found a simple way to exploit the AI. In any encounter be it a caravan or guard fight all you have to do is deliver the killing blow. Most efficient way is to move your bandits just outside the enemy zone and wait till their armor and hp drops low enought to 1shot them. Then just jump in 1 hex and deliver the killing blow, robbing the npcs not only from the whole loot but all the exp aswell. It even opens an opportunity for the enemy to kill off some friendlies so you gain even more spoils. Even not being a bug, thought this is the best place to post it.
PS. Attached the save file archive for the no spawn of anything.
