One better solution should a better diplomatic (if one kingdoms start to grow, the others kingdoms should declare wars together against, one small kingdoms should focus on one war only, medium kingdoms should be nice with small kingdoms). Also, more independance from NPC.
Come on. Paradox know how to hype people and then release a broken game (CK2, EUIV, HOI4, Stellaris). CK3 will not be great before 3-4 x 20$ DLC. Same for Total Wars. Right now, we live a time with broken release games for strategy games. And some compagnies takes years to fix it. Some dont.
No. We have 3 pieces of empire with roman style (so roman or bizantin, 450-800) and not a christian european empire (800 or 1000 for Frank empire). Battania, Vladian and Sturgian are proto european nation, so before 1000. Sturgian look like a proto-Viking (750-1000 for Viking). Definitively not after 1000. Asarei look like Abbasid, but of course before they become a big empire. So 700-800. So with a proto or pre-islam and no crusade against them. No black powder. Mixt of stone and wood castles. No full plate armour but lamellar armour.
Yes they do it. Easy way to see it is to start a army with NPC, go to a raided village and you can see ''XXX +2 recruits'' and you can see the numbers in your army increase.
No they are not.
CONQUEROR'S BLADE have all you ask. Kingdom under fire 2 also.
Are you serious ? Every single part of the game need to be rewrite. Yes, you can keep 90% of the code, but you need to change everything. You click on ''access to inventory'' ? You need to change this part because you need to send a request to the server. You start a battle ? You need to change how work a battle because right now, a battle means you freeze the world and nobody can join the battle. You also need to plan a disconnection from players in a middle of interaction betwin players. You also rewrite all rules for protect the players from toxic behaviours. Right now, we have psycothic players in single mod and we kill everybody or stole all denars from the world. We cannot have that in multiplayers ! And we have also problem in MP mode and TW dont give enough moderation. And the world in BL is not really big (20 min for go to one side to another side of the world). If you have 100 players (it is really small for MMO), that will be a total mess. So or you expand or you need to slow down a lot the game.
