Bannerlord is a good game, at least it is the game I have invested more time on it, so it should mean something. I love medieval games though, and it is one of the reasons because I have played this game so much.
On the other hand, while I appreciate that the game release is being delayed in order to keep improving the game, I also think that the game is getting improved pretty slow. I also disagree with how basic and rushed the breakout prisoners is, and I really do not understand why some basic balancing changes like equipment prices, unit balancing (archers are still the way to go and much better than other units), game&war pacing too fast compared to aging pace, smithing, leveling progression, etc, are still the same or not much better than one year ago.
I also feel pretty frustrated with Mexxico leaving the company, he is the only dev who has improved a game area considerably (snowballing fix has improved the game experience x10 to me). Every time I have reported a bug or issue related to campaign AI, it is great to see how much communicative he is and how fast we can see results. A company does not trying to keep in the team a guy who works with such huge passion, makes pretty evident that they do not know what they are doing.
Concerning the space game, I do not care at all about this game, I do not buy space games so I won’t buy this game, even if TW would make a great game. I will be also disappointed if this game would turn in the TW main priority before fixing and finishing Bannerlord. I really hope that the best and more skilled devs are still focusing on Bannerlord.
