I mean. You're actually very sensible and I can agree with this comment, but for most people including me these are tiny almost non issues. Don't get me wrong, should be fixed, but such unimportant things that I wasn't even aware of since I've never had it happen or noticed, as well as reading them I wouldn't even really care if it happened.
OP also said that there were hundreds of other bugs reported since 1.9 that were never fixed. Many of them are major issues.
Here's two that I want to draw attention to:
When you have a battle and the enemy flee. A new battle take place right after with the fleeing party. But the experience you get from the first fight is lost. Let's say the post battle report from the first fight says I had 14 troops that did level up. As I got no chance to actually level up...

This bug makes large army battles less rewarding and ultimately pointless for mercenaries or minor vassals, just a T5 troop sink.
It also happens to small party fights if at least 10 units got away, so it affects almost all phases of the game.

Two of the strongest infantry formations for countering cavalry got nerfed. Infantry are pretty much sitting ducks for horse archers.
Both threads immediately received a reply that QA was made aware of the issues. Since beta 1.9 they knew about these bugs.
I'm making my review negative so that I can hopefully save someone the future disappointment. This is an obvious sign of either incompetence or laziness, maybe both:
- Both bugs are easy to reproduce so the editing and testing cycle should be straightforward.
- The intended features worked properly before, so someone just has to look at what's been changed in the relevant parts of the code.
- It's already been a month, and there's still no patch for TWO major bugs.
- While fully aware of two major game breaking bugs, they just went ahead and proudly announced the game was released. That'll be $49.99, please!
Isn't that just disappointing? It's ridiculous too. If this is going to be their company culture from now on then it's best not to expect anything from them. It's also best to tell other people to stay away until TW can own up to their mistakes and earn back user trust.
