I'm not agree, in some ways i find it harder than warband, more if you enable the death mechanic, it feels like you are no longer unvulnerable, even some forest bandits can beat you up, i mean, even with very good armor, if you have a kingdom now you have to manage more dimplomatic stuff, yo have acces to high tier units, yes but they also die a lot (like everyone), and we are talking about an early access, so, wait till mods and more stuff, i can't imagine how freakin hard it would be something like perisno or pendor in bannerlord.
