Since 1.07, I've seen vassals forming factions to lower crown authority in kingdoms they aren't de jure or de facto part of (for instance, Duke of Meath wants to lower crown authority in France-wtf?), and sometimes one vassal will even form multiple of these factions for different irrelevant kingdoms. I noticed in the change-log for 1.08 that this seemed to have been fixed. Can anyone comment from experience that this has indeed been fixed? I found this bug/oversight ridiculous in 1.07, and would often see one duke trying to lower crown authority in every kingdom in an empire, even if he isn't part of any of them. Also, has there been any restriction on the number of factions a vassal can form? In 1.07 I constantly saw one or two vassals leading four or five different factions, which made them easier to deal with for sure, but also seemed very buggy, since I was aware players have a set limit below this number.
