Minor settlement changes, no free garrisons?

[anubis88]

There's still free upkeep for some units in some goverment types. The minor settlements were removed because the AI couldn't handle them. They would park their armies there and leave their actual cities to be besieged and would never try to help them out. So it was a necessary change for a better gameplay

No they still appear on the map as a "tile" but you can no longer garrison troops inside them.

There is a way to turn them back?

[QuintusSertorius]

They've been removed because they ruin the CAI, we've seen it time and again that a faction can have a full stack parked in a minor settlement, while ignoring the fact that their capital is under siege. They waste turn after turn shuffling units in and out of them. They make for awful battle maps, too, where we either have to use an ahistorical fort model, or have broken BAI because there are no walls.

It's not possible to turn them "back on" without a major edit of the descr_strat, they've all been turned into a resource, so they just show up as icons on the map and nothing more.
