Title says it, there is a huge amount of villages with less than 100 points in my area, nothing has changed since the day they appeared, at the same time barb villages are being nobled constantly.
They only seem to turn into barbs if the player resets, it is easy enough to take over their vil and build it up, and I would not consider it an issue at all, more of a challange.
