My man, instead of copy-pasting what half the people comment in steam, maybe you should read the patch notes instead. They added gang gameplay in the form of owning alleys and events about defending them, they also added retirement, sally out ambushes, party screen filtering, a few armor pieces and assigning companions to formations.
I understand and share your gripes about the lacking parts of the game such as its diplomacy and late game, but at least show the decency to read the patch notes before copy-pasting something that devs have probably already seen 500 times. While I also have shared my complaints and suggestions regarding this game numerous times and agree with many of "your" complaints, not all that you have pasted is necessarily wanted by everyone (e.g. Right to Rule, being able to own villages individually, feasts, courting taking ****ing ages, town entry ambushes etc., I myself do want some of these, but not necessarily everyone wants all of them).
