that announcement was very surprising and coming out of nowhere. should TW communicate more with us? yes
should we know everything they do? no
should they make something like a roadmap? maybe
is this new feature good? yes
is it necessary right now? hell, no.
i feel like they just did that because its in their actually resource managment possible to do to get the community excited for anything. why?
i play since the release and i havnt seen any improvement in the AI. all is just a forward and backward step. sure there were some stuff like rebellions and some small things that helped the game, but the core game is still the same.
grind looters, tournament, grind looters, do some trading, sell some prisoners, get food, fight looters, fight better bandints until you get a big party.
get being a vasall or mercenary for a kingdom, battle, sell prisoners, get food, fight , fight, sell prisoners, get food, get your fiefs/ first castle/town
more battle, more prisoners, more battle... till the map is yours
so you all can see, its just getting boring after some time if you realize its just a battle simulator and nothing else. no in depth anything. is this cool? sure yes, for some time, but nothing essential that makes the game great. i lost all hope that there will come any deep interactions with anyone in this game. just waiting for the full release and a modder who cares about more in depth features.
