Some more feedback from SP, avoiding MP for now:
Seems that your overall movement speed is super slow in this game, which makes it hard to outmanuevre any 1vX. Bots aren't as retarded as in Warband and try to circle you, so it's really difficult to fight 1 vs many, given how slow and clunky movement is. Siege defense AI is retarded and gets stuck on walls until the gates are open. Map AI also seems to be a bit dumb, we're losing a war that was heavily in my factions (Vlandia) favor because these idiots are sieging castles with no more than 100 people, instead of making one bigger army.
The shop gear stocks are weird, some factions have great body armor but shitty everything else, I don't know if that's intended or not but for Vlandia for example you can generally find a pretty good stock of helmets but no decent body armor.
Not a fan of how rng the crafting system is, wish there was another way.
Can't recall how it was in Warband, but feels like leveling skills takes quite a while (even with 5 points put into it for max multiplier). And yeah ranged AI is really accurate.
Raiding villages gives terrible loot.
All in all still enjoying it, but considering it took them 10 years to put this out it's honestly quite embarrassing.
