For optional #2, my reasoning is that I don't want an unrealistic family where I have like 12 kids with just one spouse. I know having 10+ kids can be common in medieval times but generally not with one wife.
Although the chance of pregnancy has greatly been reduced in 1.4.0, my spouse was getting pregnant pretty much non-stop after births in previous versions. When she got pregnant for 4th kid, I was like "No, no, this is too much.".

I bloody hope they get #1 & 2 get right. Those two are direly needed as well as #6.

The troop passive train kills are

1. Medium exp to tire 1-2-3 troops per day? - Rise of meek?
2. Small exp to the party overall, also per day. - Combat tips

I am holding back until these are implemented or fixed.

1. An option to ignore the main quest and create my own kingdom regardless.
2. A proper way to propose peace/declare war via kingdom screen.
3. While being a vassal, they never seem to care much to defend cities/castles. Even if they do, they are always one step too late. This needs to be looked at.
4. My favorite kingdom is Strugia but their land is so widely spread out that it's very hard to defend. The map needs to change a bit.
5. Persuasion system seems to be utterly broken.
6. When you form your own kingdom and manage to persuade a clan, they just leave a minute later if not given a fief pretty much right away. This started to happen in 1.4.0. In previous versions, they stayed on no matter what.
7. Your companion parties are too stupid. And I don't like how they just wait for you to pick them up in remote places once escaped from captivity. This especially sucks during war time. Can't be traveling around for minutes.
8. The first leadership trait which trains troops appear to be either too weak or broken. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

Optional stuff I'd really like.
1. An ability to name my own kids.
2. An option not to have sex with spouse, effectively ending any chance of pregnancy.

etc. Above is all I can think of right now.

Who in the 11th century just up and decided to sell their town to someone? LOL, Constantinople going once, going twice, sold. This is too easy an exploit. Sell your town make no money, AI should never do this unless it's a faction member and a castle maybe.

You should not be able to buy a town in this game. The AI doesn't know its eliminating itself from the game by doing this.

I have used the developers console mod to fix problems. Sometimes the game just needs a little help.

I have also used it to respec my companions using the Companion Respec mod. I had a surgeon with one point in int and no focus points in medicine. My engineer was in a similar state. With the developers console and the respec mod I was able to fix these things myself.

I have not used the console to cheat, at least not yet.

Idea how to make castles more unique, also help AI with higher tier troops. I wish for castles to be more military oriented, and cities more taxes oriented like they are right now. Castles could have unique "rise levy" option - ability to instantly recruit high tier soldiers but directly from population (prosperity). Like trade-off more military strength but at the cost of crippling your economy,and it make sense for medieval time line (I also think this option is good way to replace 10% AI lords respawn , at least it make more sense). Off course, this option should have with certain limitations:
-max number of "rise levy" troops could be 50 or percentage of overall prosperity number in castle
-only owner of the castle have this option
-minimum prosperity to use this option could be 750-800
-cooldown for using this option, no idea how many days
-"Levy troops" could be tier 3
-to prevent manipulation "levy troops" could be marked with special icon "loyal to lord X" and can't be transfered to other Lords
-after war, if some of them survive they could be disbanded in the same castle where raised, and converted back to prosperity
-"Levy troops" couldn't be upgraded beyond their original level when raised

Also adding new unique buildings for castles could be cool idea for this option, to force player/AI to actually invest before use this option:
-infantry barracks level 1 = "levy infantry" level 2
-infantry barracks level 2 = "levy infantry" level 3
-infantry barracks level 3 = "levy infantry" level 4
Same thing for archer barracks and cavalry barracks
For me personally this idea make sense, and it's a good way prevent overall "out of control" prosperity growth (food shortage problem in late game)

Sure, we're both just quoting what our sources claim, but our sources seem to be slightly in conflict. I have no special knowledge of this subject, so maybe R. Allen Brown isn't credible. I was also responding to what Stratigo said by offering up a concrete example.

I totally agree polearms and pikes are too short.

Believe it or not , i like couche lance the way it is now. It's a gauranteed kill. Nothing more to add really.
I can't say i miss much , even with the current state which is far from perfect.
They should propably reduce the damage and only make it a sure kill if you have the perks in the future.

I mostly use it vs cavarly , since swings can be blocked and don't always one shot.
With couch you either kill the horse or the rider. <3
Vs multiple enemies , swings is defo the way to go since you don't need to speed up and you get kills fasters.

I believe longer weapons would fix most issues discussed here but there are OP risks to take.
I also believe they will make it happen in the future , to some extent at least , orrrrrrrrrr mods will sort us out : D

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the thread so far as I skipped past all the noise about historical accuracy. But when I was first having trouble using couched lance to deliver strikes, someone recommended that I change to first-person view. (Default key is R, I think.) this made it enormously easier to put the lance tip into my target.

there are a variety of good suggestions I've seen people make about changes to lances, but giving us a "stab-cam" view over the shoulder, as seen in a few mods, would go a long way towards making couched lance strikes more user-friendly.

As to whether or not they're actually useful compared to other weapons, I'll leave that debate alone. I personally use it to seek out the enemy's heavy cav after I've given my troops the first set of orders, on the thought that top-tier nobles have the heaviest armor. So the high damage of a good couched lance blow might actually be the difference in 1-hit kills vs a need to reattack, and a quick kill on a leader might sap their morale before my main body even gets engaged. Then again, I don't actually know if the morale system is so sophisticated at the moment.

Whether that fits your playstyle or conception of the game, I'll leave up to you. But if you do want to use couched lances and you're having trouble landing the blow against isolated targets, just try switching to first-person camera as you get lined up.

yeah, I'll look into that one, I've used 2 armor mods already, one I've hated, the other didn't hate it but felt too OP...

Ok, I don't want to sound like crazy but I will probably will anyway.
I usually play the game every day since the release for about 3 hours before going to sleep. This is after my 5 year old gets too sleep and my wife watches some Netflix. All good so far.
But the game is so intensive and repetetive that when I go to bed I just can't get rid of thinking what I should do next and this game music is in the head. It is not funny at all.
Last night I couldn't fall asleep at all. I deleted the game at 6:15 am.
Played dozens of casual games before and never experienced stuff like that.
