Previous Beta Hotfixes:
  • Fixed a crash that occurred when trying to purchase a workshop.
  • Fixed a bug that causes duplicate dialogue options to appear in some dialogues.
  • Fixed the bonus for the castle “castellan's office” settlement project.
  • Some lords which have a risk of going below critical money limits will stop paying wages and suffer the morale penalty only. This way they will at least keep enough money to buy food and avoid starvation. Their troops will still desert eventually if their morale drops too low.
  • In some cases, siege map events were stopping in the middle and the besieger party was returning to owned settlements to buy food. They will now continue the map event.
  • In some minor cases, armies were going to faraway towns when they ran out of food. This was fixed. The distance will be the most important factor in such cases.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented excessive settlement militia from decreasing.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred sometimes when trying to complete Gang Leader Needs Weapons quest through dialogue.

Serious incline in the beta branch too by the way:
Just some examples
  • Implemented War and Peace Kingdom Decisions that are accessible from the Kingdom Diplomacy Screen. Kingdom Decisions now show support for all types of decisions.
  • Implemented Sandbox Kingdom Creation, which is possible through the clan screen and not dependent on the main storyline. Players need to have at least 1 settlement and a tier 4 clan. Then players can select their kingdom's culture (consisting of their settlements' culture or their own clan's culture), select their initial policies (up to 4) and, finally, select the name for their new Kingdom.
  • In certain siege scenes, troops would start running between two siege towers instead of climbing. This issue was resolved and major improvements were made about the problems in pathfinding over siege towers and climbing ladders (especially ladders of siege towers).
  • Increased distance between friendly troops. This improves the spacing inside combat and reduces friendly troops hindering themselves

  • Enabled charging agents to move together in formation. Both cavalry and infantry troops in formation now tend to stay in line while charging at the enemy. Cavalry formations will try to regroup before charging back, if the formation is intact.

Yeah, that one is awesome too. Currently you were pretty much limited to one suitable lady per kingdom or even none for the Battanians (Caladog's daughter is potentially awesome but she's too young at game start).

  • Some beards have been retouched and cleaned, LODs added.
  • A new shortcut, "Left Ctrl" (like Left Shift) has been added to affect the entire stack with the action (e.g Transfer, Upgrade etc.)

This game's notable relations system really needs a lot of work. There's very little you can do to improve relations now with villagers except to wait for a quest or random looters vs villager stack.
This is way too impractical. Can we not just make a generous donation just to gain access to more/higher tier recruits?
I'm seeing a lot of established nobles running around just recruiting everyone because they obviously start with higher relations, so yeah once again - you want to cripple the players at the start - I get it. But why not create opportunities for a 'fun' gold sink? A lot of players are amassing wealth without even trying so why not just make influence purchasable with a large donation to the ruler of a kingdom?

They can also add Charm / Stewardship / Roguery affect how much money you gotta pay to increase relations points.
And all those small bandits stacks should be recruitable with Roguery - instead of having insane stack size to intimidate them why not give them a paid offer to join? I'd pay to get quick stacks massed for a quick reinforcement vs enemies. Because at the moment with nerfed influence gains, players are just at the mercy of Allied AI stacks responding correctly to threats until he banked a lot of influence for a big push forward. Hell, I stockpiled 5000 cheap grains, pack horses n mules for a long future campaign, but seeing how most armies just don't go for the right objective just frustrates me to no end.

This just seems like a lot of feature creep coming out but without the 'interlocking' system , the world just doesn't seem alive.
And let me just state, I can ignore ALL OF THE ABOVE improvements if they actually made army command easier to set up.
Goddamn, I just want to separate archers into 2-3 stacks for better positioning but it's just not happening due to UI hell.

Oh yeah, I realized the recruitment difficulty does not apply to your companions' parties.
The dev realized if the companions had to grind reputation, they probably would not get any meaningful number of recruits from the villages.
So feel free to lead them in an army to a village and transfer their recruits straight to you.

I know the Lord of the Rings mod that's in development is actually planning on having Mumakil, and to size at that. As much as it sounds like empty hype, something of that scale has already been done.

Just up the charge damage, lower the speed, give it a unique model and some animations and that'd be a damn fine implementation of one.
