Gotta wait for updates or significant mods, or just enough time to want play again. I finished a full campaign a couple weeks ago and the game from the "I have 100 troops" point on is super repetitive and takes a lot to paint the map, so I'm good for awhile after I finish it. Game is like 4 hours or less of early game and then the rest is the exact same thing endlessly until map painted. Not a complaint, just saying why mods or updates are needed for me to want to play another campaign.

Assess yourself there buddy. Moaning about moaning is still moaning.

If you have a problem with it then maybe you, who has spent over 22 days of your real life on the forum, should leave the moaning alone and get on with your life.

I'm tired of lots of complaining if there are thousands of players who aren't happy let's get them all to post and show how much they want things to change.

Spoiler

Which is why I would expect them to have diversified the setting of the art rather than have them all be - Group of soldiers walking/riding in from the right side of the frame with the main character looking down on the viewer over his left shoulder.
Warband had way more interesting art with different poses, settings and even included snapshots of battle scenes.

A few examples I would have expected to showcase the game better would be:

A king on the throne.
Bandits in the alley.
Soldiers preparing for a battle in line formation.
A battle sequence.
Battered soldiers post battle.
Tavern people enjoying a drink and playing that checkers game (to remind the player that the tavern still exists).
Herding cattle to another village (showcasing the popular quest).
A spy being captured in a town setting (showcasing the Spy Among us quest).
Villagers plowing in their village.
Making defensive preparations for a seige.
Making offensive preparations for a seige.
A siege sequence.

There are a million snapshots you could make art from of the game, but they just decided to make art on the same sequence, but with the difference cultures. Its unimagginative and does nothing to excite me. That's why I think it is lazy and amateurish. I know its not a big deal whatsoever, as the game has far bigger flaws, but its just another thing I feel proves TW has just skimped out on.
With the amount of time the game was in development, I still wouldn't be surprised if they gave the artist (who is obviously technically talented and maybe just put under time pressure) a couple of weeks to bang out the loading screens. Seems like another rush job , just like the release trailer.


Similar to the release trailer, TW completely disregarded what the game was about and kinda just showed people riding around on horseback for 90% of it. It seems like they just don't know how to promote their game properly. Their twitter account just splurts out random historical facts for some reason, rather than sharing development updates.
