This could've been the Total War killer if instead of being autistic, the dev did:

>Remove the idiotic restrictive 9 knights system
>add cultural differences between factions that arent just cosmetical
>make women able to be spies/diplomats ( and the occasional general via event) instead of useless placeholders
>add an option for character/troop/heraldry customization a la crusader kings
>revamp the dynasty system so your family tree actualy matters, the hard limit of for children means its gameover if you have 4 daughters ( since they cant inherit or interact with the world AT ALL aside from engagements)

Instead the dev did this:

>Outright refused to provide proper modding tools for map/faction/troop modifications ( you can only tweak numers in game files for existing assets, anhd then, only barely)
>Speculated about possible future content/DLC and then proceeded to completely abandon the game 6 months after release
>later on it became known the dev abandoned it to chase a retarded trend of sci-fi 4x with all the games profits
>sci-fi sideproject that sucked up the resources went nowhere, ruining KoH2

Its heartbreaking how stupidity and massive greed ruined what could have otherwise been a turning point for strategy games
