I don't want to be salty but how many of those hours are actually spent playing?
I mean, most of the playtime is spent running around aimlessly farming looters and recruiting troops, then autoresolving looters and recruiting troops again and again.
And once you spent 2-3 IRL hours doing this you have to savescum to not loose a single big battle 'cause, even if you're the lord of two cities and rich AF, you'll need to farm looters, recruit, farm looters.
Beside this,there's nothing to do in peacetime except grinding troops xp (again) and by midgame you're floating in gold and influence.
I spent 117hrs in this game but I'm far from satisfied.
And all of this could be acceptable, because I bought an EA game, if the devs communicated a little more, giving us an even vague roadmap or weekly dev diaries like pdx does.
