100 is NOT the midpoint. Best case scenario 100 is 2% towards 275. The mid point to 275 is actually 263.

You mean in terms of the weighting? Yeah, I was just looking at it in absolute terms, but I think most people don't realize how much the weighting factor actually affects it, they see 0 to 50 and by it going up fast, they think it's out of control.

While it does appear quite fast in the beginning, it does slow down when you hit the 100s, which is actually the midpoint, so I honestly feel that it's in a good spot right now.

Great write-up, been wondering about a lot of these things. Nice to see them explained, looking forward to your next playthrough

My biggest issue with hideouts is if you leave any bandits outside, they'll just make another one in a day or two, and the amount of time wasted to chase down 8 mini-groups of bandits is a colossal waste of time. Second biggest issue is that the player is literally the only agent in the game that can clear hideouts, unless you take a mission from a village and assign a companion, NPC armies/mercenaries do not clear out hideouts, so if you are operating on one side of the map, the bandit infestation can get particularly bad and unbalance the map on another side of it simply because the player and companions acting through the player are literally the only people that can clear them.

People keep mentioning food, food for armies, food for horses, food spoiling, but they are forgetting a simple fact that the AI, at present, can't even handle non-spoiling food without starving, these mechanics, unless the AI is significantly revamped, will only make the game far worse at present.

In addition, should this be a priority now? Or should it be revisited after the dev team has actually introduced critical/important features? Right now, this will do nothing but break the AI even more than it already is, and it's obviously extremely debatable if it would really offer anything, even if it works with the AI, in place of other features that could make the game more fun.

Yes. But there is a beta path you can opt into if you wish on Steam.

It should also be applied to AI. The biggest issue I see with this, is that the AI needs to be fine tuned to act less dumb before this is implemented. We shouldn't have 0 stack Lords running around going bankrupt with ransoms because they are behaving dumb and getting captured by looters and bandits.

But I think this, combined with war goals, e.g. obtaining enough war spoils, dollar wise, or certain territories, could work well.

You don't have to download mods, they are optional, but if you want to download them, you have to go to nexusmods. I would recommend installing the 'vortex' mod manager, then you can download your mods into that. I would first try to just play the game before you install mods.

Going to need more information than this...how did you install the mods? In the launcher, you select the 'mods' tab next to 'news' and you see nothing/can't select anything? What mods did you install? Did you remember to elevate the files?

How does one "opt in" to the beta or alpha branch?

Right click Bannerlord in Steam Library - > Properties - > Betas tab -> Drop down menu to e1.1 beta.
If you want to opt out after you do it, you do the same thing but select 'opt out of betas'.

I voted for the generational playthroughs, but I think experience gain should be left up to the player with a slider.

I rather like the skill gain, it actually makes sense considering you are hiring companions with 3x the skill points as you for 1000 denars, while you are basically dead weight. When you couple this with the supposed generational mechanic when that becomes available/working, this should make character development interesting and less of a slog.

If they achieve a better balance between renown, fief management, economy, clan, family/generation, and skill development then you'll need to be concerned with 6 aspects/resources and none of them, frankly, should feel like a slog, just as long as there is challenge elsewhere. But I'm a huge proponent of giving choice to the player, and frankly hate when people try to lobby for a 'my way is the only way', so maybe down the line they can offer a slider for experience gain to the various other sliders available.

I used my savegame from v1.0.3 until now.
Altough I started the game using around 5 mods, now I have around 15 mods.
The reason I have to start a new game is:
My shield maidens got Two handed to 328 points all of a sudden and together with the perk that gives them 0.2% running speed for every point over 200 they are running faster now than some of my cavs...
I tried to lower it with dev console and I tried to kick them off my party but the next companion I git (... the Red) also got 328 points in Two handed, maybe from a tournament I played in that town....

This is because skill gain is also retroactively applied, and this shows you how broken the previous skill system was. It's fine if you start a new playthrough, but if you reload old saves it gets weird.

You can't.
