I think it will be around a year, but I don't think the full release will even be close to what people were hoping for.

I haven't played since mid April because the game felt very empty and repetitive. I still check the forums for news every now and then but so far I've been mostly disappointed with the development progress.

how do you form a kingdom without completing this main quest ? like why im forced again? to complete it so i can have a kingdom? make it optional this quest line is complete boring clownfiesta.

Kingdom creation is part of the main quest. After forming your kingdom (or joining one of the others), the next quest is to defeat every faction in the game (they surrender when they have lost a certain amount of land). After that you are done with the main quest.

You get a pop-up saying you won and then it continues like nothing happened. If you talk to the quest giver for the quest they tell you "You're not supposed to see this" or something like that (can't remember exactly).

IIRC only the initial quest has a timer now, after that you're free to do as you wish.

I think the timer stops when you choose a side to support. Problem with that is that the conspiracy timer starts ticking and when that finishes, all empire or non-empire factions become allies and declare war on your faction. So there is still a time limit sort of. Correct me if I'm wrong though since I haven't played the main quest since the change.

I just think the recruits look incredibly silly with their colored shirts and swords. I would like them to have spears and a crappy shield or something like that.

At the moment the game is a little too unstable for me to play ironman, but the option existed in Warband so I see no reason not to add it.

There should be no cap, atleast it should be able to handle the party cap of the companion in charge. Adding units to the caravan should make it slower and more expensive, this should be enough of a drawback.

Hopefully they have people working on the major features alongside the other patches.

It's better then in the Warband.

For me the AI is currently way worse than Warband. They barely block at all and there are more ways to cheese them compared to Warband.

Combat AI is improved slightly but still very bad, even on challenging difficulty. Some units block when they have a shield but it's very rare, even for top-tier infantry, to block with a weapon.

Well they said they are working on it so all we can do is wait for whatever fix they come up with and see if it is sufficient. Difficulty options don't seem to do anything right now but hopefully the "challenging" option is supposed to be similar to that old video after they fix it.

I think they mean the small pop-up saying "Victory" after you complete the quest. I don't think there is anything more to it. I talked to the quest giver after uniting the empire and all she said was "You aren't supposed to see this" or something like that.

No fix for the broken combat AI?

I agree. Even the best armor feels very weak.
