So, from the latest blog regarding the base game changes, I do not see:
-Diplomacy improvements (the current diplomacy is a joke)
-Policies (which is another "feature" that is only included in the game to be there, nothing more)
-Vote/internal politics between clans in the kingdom (right now, AI mindlessly vote for anything, no logic, nothing is taken into account)
-Improvements of being a king
But we can throw stones with the sack now... Or maybe not. Because it's not coming out any time SOON.
Don't get me wrong, the upcoming changes are nice and all, but the mentioned above mechanics are simply not working in the game. It took 2 years for you to announce a new update, but the fundamental points of the game (when you become a vassal/ruler) are broken and late game is still mindless wars without an end...
