The game gets less entertaining with every balance patch. You are constantly making changes based on the whims of a very small percentage of Bannerlord's population that revolves around Skirmish balance.
The game felt a lot better at launch, balance-wise. Every faction had truly unique factors and the game was a lot more asymmetrical. Now every faction plays in a more similar fashion, and the game is suffering for it. The MP population wasn't decimated just because the game is a glitchy, incomplete mess.
The novelty wore off, certainly, but the vast majority of balancing changes have made the game a lot more boring, focusing on metas that no more than a few hundred people care about. This will never be an esports game, the asymmetry was a lot better than balancing the game around three shield users, one archer, and two cavs, or whatever the meta is right now in skirmish village.
