Lol, I don't know that I would go so far as to say I'm optimistic. Like I said, there is a perfectly good chance that the beta won't come out this year and a perfectly good chance that it will. I won't be surprised one way or the other quite frankly.

I was under the impression that there's generally a small amount of closed external testing, then a larger closed external test, then open testing. So if they're not having any external testing atm then it could be a fair while before we get our hands on it.
I could be speaking a load of ****e here though.

I don't know whether you are or not either
but if your information were correct, that would at least be a factual reason for being worried.

that is not a rule. A small company usually goes between those phases, with the "only family and friends" around the alpha or close beta stages.
If they have enough people on the team they may decide to to skip the close beta (with outside people). They have 60+ people, right? And a College to hire a bunch of temps if they need extra hands to try to break the game with random keystrokes
jump, jump, jump and try fall off the scene
run around and try to get stuck
etc
in short: it depends on them really.
before anyone asks: I also want to beta test the game this year
, I would be quite happy with custom battles mode only (couple factions, few troops types, non siege battles) so we can start to see how combat feelswarning: if annoying level reaches level 9 they will release the beta on Dec 30th... with only one map, that is a tavern, with only one npc, that is the dude you go against on ONE board game only. Currently we are at level 7.

Totally agree to what has been said above. I, for one, am not frustrated over the time taken for release. As many will agree, we all want a polished product. However the lack of regular updates is what upsets me. And this is not like we are 1-2 years from when the game was announced. Its been a staggering four years! There have been what, less than 30 blogs on their sites and 4 - 5 videos posted (admit it which many of us find an excuse to watch over and over againKi-Ok Khan said:
). It would be worth while to keep the community updated with lets say monthly posts or screens from development. Not necessary to provide functionality which they want to unveil later but something related to what has been already released. Engagement with the community is the best way to maintain the hype surrounding Bannerlord. (no offence or disrespect to any dev or member)

Good to hear a response though, guess twitter is the good place to ask questions.

At least now we know. I am not even mad that they can not deliver it. As long as they inform us.baca said:
While I am coming late to the party, its really nice to see that sieges are getting stuff added.
Calradians will have learnt to raise more than 1 ladder or attack from 1 siege tower at a time. Its a testament to the our times that in some hundred years the people of Calradia will have degenerated into storming castles using 1 siege tower all together or at best use 2 ladders, placed next to each other. Despite other advancements in arms and armor.
So essentially I am thrilled to see sieges get some more work and that it will give us a bit more choice in how to conduct it. I hope we'll get an option to build mines under walls and so on, as well. But even we don't, I'll be happy with this.

at the end of the campaign the black plague will destroy the land. 50% of the population will die in less than 5 years. In the chaos, mutiny and civil war that will follow all the books will be burned. People that had the knowledge on warfare and engineer will be gone.
next generations will have to start over
DLC confirmed: MB2 The Reaper's Due
(that is the name of a DLC for CK2 in case someone missed the joke)
Thanks TW for makin' the hard call to spend more time/money in game development. In spite of general noises from people, I'm sure most can appreciate that you want the product to ship in a good state. Also it's understandable given the surrounding climate that have no doubt effected game development negatively in some way.
