The cost of buying a workshop can be easily recouped if you exploit the system right, so I'd say the better solution would be to make them more profitable at a baseline so that you don't have to be somebody invested in the trading game to make them useful. If you can save up ~50,000, you can buy one workshop and get to shutting down the rest of them to maximize that one (to 3? Not sure what the sweet spot is) in profit. Tournaments are a great way to make fast cash in the early game and once you have the ball rolling the cost of converting other workshops becomes trivial. You could just lay flat and do nothing and make plenty of money (as long as you keep party expenses low. Probably best to limit yourself at ~300 silvers per day in party expenses).

There's also design inconsistencies like Workshops and stuff produced by them that you can pick up and sell abroad via the Warehouse not contributing to your Trade Skill XP despite it being directly intertwined with Trade as a game mode.

My guess is that the trade side of the game may have been the passion of a couple developers but not the majority so it's overlooked compared to the conventional gameplay loop of fighting battles to earn wealth and power. Ideally, becoming a monopolist should have the same effect in granting wealth as being a very successful mercenary since they're almost mutually exclusive play styles since becoming the enemy of even one faction can jeopardize your trade routes (especially NPC-led caravans you own) and any Workshops you own in a faction that declares war on the one you're fighting for would be stolen from you as well.

It used to be kinda OP in Warband to the point where I pretty much endeavored to buy as many Velvet Dyeworks as I could so that I'd be rich enough to casually start a kingdom with loads of elite troops ASAP.

They might be working on a DLC or something, or they can't be so slow, almost doing nothing. However there is a tiny possibility that TW sacked most of the employees since several of them have left the forum.

with the beta test on the steam page, can we get a confirmation that there will be a new beta branch before it goes live. A lot of valued console people are wondering since they have been waiting nearly 5 months

Ok, I get where you're coming from. And believe me, I'm also not happy with the 1.2.x development-process.

But if you want a more definitive answer: Dejan refered to the Community Tales #4 from the 25. november, where they talke about "a release in the next few weeks". "Few weeks" of course is open to interpretation, but 3 weeks doesn't sound bad, does it?
So I'd say, until 16. december you have an answer with a set goal, and if they haven't delivered until then, go berserk and I won't stand between you and the devs.

I don't think TaleWorlds understands what they did to their original fanbase, they have surely attracted new players but it's impressive how easily they've soured so many diehard old fans.

Decided to dive back in a few hours since release to test state of game. Whatever changes were made to blocking are tuned way too much or bugged; or at least the difference between a T1 doing it vs a T6 is negligible.
Tournaments, the only difficulty this patch added is testing the player's patience; it's not meaningful winning. It's just adding another 5 minutes and that amount of mouse-clicking to the same fight mechanic.

What exactly is being tweaked that's making them 'smarter' (besides it sounding akin to just adding 'quantum' in scifi films)? And is there any way a player can overcome or puzzle out to make them feel 'skilled' in game?

1v1s, good couple minutes of me and T6 troop just exchanging swing/blocks ad nauseum. Seemed completely random if/when a attack did finally manage to get through after the 30th swing, before having to do another 20/30/40+ exchanges to land the next; no way to figure out what caused it. This applies to lower tiers as well.
Only way to speed that up is adding kicks or using the walls to cheese the AI; that can't be the intended design. We might as well just have them not block and just give them 100k hp 'difficulty'.

Spear on horseback vs 2 remaining units on foot, another ridiculously tedious fight that requires cheesing the AI to beat or just simply trampling them to death; again that can't be the intended design.

Still more than a week left. They said in Nov. As long as they deliver before 12:00 am on Dec 1, they will have kept their word.

that's weird as a Dev specifically told me, " We don't give eta's as the community would take them as a deadline"

Pacific_Salmon said:

I don't understand this comment nor similar ones. If Amazon tells you they will deliver by Friday, do you email them Thursday asking if you will actually get your delivery like you were told and ask them if it was instead a lie? This doesn't make any sense. They told us end of November. I don't see a reason why you need to use this kind of tone. It's only the 20th. There is a week and a half left in Nov.

I think a balance should be struck. Obviously we will all be happy if we get great content and it's OK if it takes some time. But of course there is a limit. But I trust them. If they said Nov, then I trust it will be Nov.
