I'm glad it's working for you.
Reading the details Anaris posted, it's probably got to do with this:
- Changed the effectiveness of looting to be based on population density and how many peasants a given group of soldiers can realistically (?) cover in the given amount of time
Mountains have a low population density but produce a ton of gold.
"Your men bring back 300 gold from their looting efforts. Your army liaison confiscates half of it, which is to be delivered to your duke, who hasn't left his estate in three years."
Maybe it'll give people yet another reason to rise up against the inactive duke?
