If they feel so tightly pressed by an internal schedule for all these features, I'd suggest that closer to 'release', TW should make a poll on extending the EA indefinitely. My take is that this is the only way to avoid negative reputation. Not delivering features and depth is worse than missing a deadline.
See "Cyberpunk 2077 drama" for instance... (EDIT: they actually failed on the buggyside not questline, but also cutoff some features due to upcoming schedule...)
Exactly this! They should take all the time needed instead of cutting features to meet deadlines. I think we'll all be completely okay with EA running for way longer!

100% agreed. I'd rather an indefinite EA of bug-squashing and not having an invisible (to us) deadline forcing content to be cut (which inevitably means they're burning dev hours to burn them) instead of getting what is a visually appealing but boring game in current state.
@Duh_TaleWorlds for your answer on my question regarding Minor Factions, is there not anything planned with them at all, or just in regards to them perhaps taking part in any Rebellions/Succession/Separatism Wars?
Can you shine any light if a civil war mechanic is being considered as an extension to Rebellions?
Where did you read they are time pressed?
They literally have one month and a half until they reach one year from the beginning of EA, which is when they're supposed to release. Even if it were 5 months from now, that's like saying tomorrow.
Hope for the best expect the worst.

>Improvements to Kingdom Decisions
Vague, but good I hope.
>Improvements to Rebellions & Kingdomless Clans
Vague, I presume you're talking about minor factions? Good I hope.
Some suggestions: The minor factions are not just there for the mercenary mechanic, but presumably also to add flavour to the world. You really should introduce some more lore-oriented dialogue to all of the minor factions, not just when they greet us. Allow us to ask them about who they are, where they're from, what they're about and what they want.
>Abdication
When the player is the ruler? Or "forced" abdication against currently ruling NPC? Good in both cases.
>We will continue to fix and balance perks.
Some suggestions: Try to find a way to allow more than maximum of two choices per tier of perks, and also try to remove specific weapon-type perks. Atleast in my personal opinion I think that'd be good.
>Skill Progression & Effects balancing.
A bit vague, but I presume you mean balance how fast different skills level compared to eachother? Yeah some of them level too fast, while others too slowly, everything should hopefully be brought a bit close to eachothers levels aswell as in general leveling up should be faster too. The AI should definitely benefit equally from the perks and skills as the players do (not sure if this is the case right now), and they should level much more intelligently. It makes sense for NPC's who lead parties to level up in a certain way, and for others to not level that way. Also, do troops benefit from perks? If not, maybe they should, to make them stand apart from eachother even more?
>Revisiting Cultural Bonuses
Remove any movement speed related bonuses and rework them into something else. Khuzaits cultural bonus is especially concerning as it heavily negatively affects the balance of the game. Off the top of my head:
Sturgia; Raiders: Faster village raiding.
Battania; Heroism: Lower notable power threshold required for noble recruits.
Vlandia: Feudalism: Larger pool of peasant recruits.
Aserai: Enterprise: Greater taxation from cities.
Empire: Engineers: I'd keep as is, perhaps also cheaper settlement upgrades?
Khuzait: Nomads: Purchase price of Horses & Warhorses cheaper.
I'll post more later, goodnight now.

Endgame Future Price Changes in Bannerlord (Dev Responses) - YouTube devs pls watch this YouTuber he s got good op and good ideas

Yea, I agree big time. Those listed are minor gameplay convenience/improvement features, welcomed, but almost completely ignoring RPG part of the game.
Additionally to your list I would like to see:
- NPCs having a personality (at least starting Lords)
- More dialogue options and lore
- Clan and lord rivalries
- No save-scumming marriages, but multi layer quests
- Random encounters on the map and in towns
- More interaction with the clan members, maybe even they giving you some quests
- Nemesis system based on relationship with the lord (he will hunt you down and take revenge no matter what and even execute when relation is minus 100 or smth or kidnap your relatives)
- Lord rebellions and forming of breakaway kingdoms
- Peace time activities (bounty hunting, feasts, building your own fort or castle)
- More diplomacy (trade, access rights to territory, alliances)
- More differences between Imperial kingdoms
- More meaningful bandits, like real crime lords with real multi layer hideouts that represent a challenge not just goofy 20-30 looters all over the place
- Injuries and diseases
- Some late game Cataclysm like barbarian invasion or something
Edit: Can we have banners in a game called BANNER lord please? For God sake, there's a mod that does that without no problems, just copy the code

this is from their steam page. there is a similar comment from callum several months back but i think their steam one is sufficient and i'm too lazy to look it up.
personally, i believe that they will deliver a good product rather than a rushed mediocre one even if it took them several years in early access.
their schedules run on valve time. they expected the game to be in our hands in 2016 and in 2017 after all.

A few of those ideas (feast, invasion, hideout building) were very unrealistic after this point with the current situation of the game .Yea, I agree big time. Those listed are minor gameplay convenience/improvement features, welcomed, but almost completely ignoring RPG part of the game.

Others are very good and should have been implementes already. It would be good to have a word from TW on whether these are planned.
IMHO reading this update I will say that we will have a good game, for sure!!! but not a brillant one.
There are things that I really don't understood, for example going to my castle keep and find my wife writing on a book... a lovely image.
Probably I am so naive, but I expected that she will tell me something like: "Hi my love, I was writing on my note book..." or something like that ...no, it didn't happened, she told me the same things than any other lord with the same dialog options including this single option 'never mind' which is terrebly fustrating for the player.
So.... why someone spent time to create this animation and then ... nothing else, which is the point?
And of course this is the general feeling I have in this game, many things looks great but they are empty. I hoped that they will put some effort to fill these 'gaps' but reading this post it doesn't seems the case.
So, yes... it will be a good game but not brillant.

Also in terms of making children, why not make it so if your wife/husband is at your keep you can have a dialogue option like "Lets spend the night together", and if she/he has a positive opinion of you it will happen. Then it will go to the world map and time will pass until the next morning. Then after a few weeks there's a chance a message will pop up saying if your wife (or you if you're playing as female) is pregnant.
Not only is it an easy way for the player to control how many children they want, but it's also way more immersive than pregnancy happening while you're at different places.

You are not naive, but 'never mind' option might still come in handy after some time in marriage.
