Crossbowmen in the frontline use their attack value rather than their bow
value, contrary to the rules.

There was a crossbowmen-wind bug, but it was fixed about 4 turns ago.

The one I know of: Give a found control artifact to a dropping faction.
Receive an NP. After the faction quits, explore for the artifact. Voila! A
free NP.

There may be another. When a lot of NPCs vanish and re-appear over many
turns in the same province, it does look suspcious. (No accusations here;
I don't know if anyone is abusing this loophole.)
