I bet we might know the release date before the end of November.

With the First KoH they made a mod like this. Nice to play but many nations are made of one-city-only.

They're still balancing the game...

That's what I mean too, especially considering they're almost 2 years late. But I suppose they are still very behind and they must have taken lightly the development (and the interest of players) of KoH2...

But after such a long time the release date has become the topic argument.

Being late might happen, being so much late (almost 2 years) with almost no communication is not acceptable.

This justification has become even more pointless than asking for a release date.

Pointless to ask, they always say "there is so much going on, so much to discuss, so much to deal with, next time we will talke about... , another dev. diary" etc etc. The hype train has probably been lost and they aim to different titles. If I had to bet I would expect a release in Autumn.

That's what I meant, the chance of releasing buffer states 😉 Let's hope they read our comments

Hi All i think each kingdom should have the chance to "release a vassal" from each city / region they own it. Let's suppose we conquer a specific region just to weaken an enemy but we dont rellay wanna manage it by ourselves, we can then "create" a vassal kingdom that works as a bearing state bound to us. what do you think ?

We're no longer talking of "few months longer", we are now in the order of years.

It was getting ridicolous... I lost count but we should have reached Dev Diary n. 24 or something without showing that much. As a natural reaction people would start asking for a Release Date since it was originally planned for 2020... Better to stay silent if they have no clue concerning the release date, as said, i start thinking the project might have been, at least temporally, abandoned.

I fear the development of the game is currently stuck... Consider also the incoming xmas holidays ahead. They'd be back into business around the 2nd hald of January, otherwise it would mean KOH2 is currently being abandoned.

Always add 5 or 6 months from the first time you see battle scene

I have recently watched a lot of AoE4 battles and they look the same of 10 years ago (or more) with the only execption of the graphic. let's hope KoH2 doesnt commit the same mistake

Maybe something about Warhammer or LOTR

More than 2. It was announced in August 2019. Get ready as we are going to be close to 3 years soon 😄

Name/Handle? Riccardo Which Country are you from? Italy What kinds of games do you like to play? Age of Empires, Knights of Honor 1, Med2 Total War + Third Age Total War, World of Warcraft, Rome 2 Total War, Attila Total War, War Thunder, World of Warcraft Online. Bonus Question: Do you have any pets? Cats and Dragons

I would like the team to consider more openly the chance of razing a settlement to the ground leaving it in ruins. It would be a good option to weaken the enemy's Kingdom without putting all of your efforts in taking a city, re-building over it, converting people and all the "chain-steps" you are forced to follow

There is no Far Oer I guess. Iceland and Greenland are off the map... maybe a modder in the future could add some provinces.

Let's say that more than Iceland I would miss the half of Scandinavia, being "cut" like we see in the map is weired but in the end it wouldn't fit that much in the game logic. I don't think we will see the Isle of Man or the Far Oer at this point. By the way, the idea of sacking and raze a settlement leaving it abandoned should be taken in consideration by the Devs.

Yes, that would be great to have the chance to sack and raze a settlement without occupying it. Let's hope they read it 🙂

This is the final map i guess, from the last dev diary

"It appears that we are looking for first half next year for release." So sorry to hear that this game will take almost 3 years, let's hope it will be worthy waiting 🙂 1) ok got it 2) so there is no way to attack a settlement, raze it and leave only ruins behind us ? A settlement must always be Owned by a faction then? 3) ok 4) Damn. Especially creating puppet state or buffer state would be awsome. 5) ok 6) ok thanks 7) This is a sad news... Hope some modder can fix it. Leaving norther Europe out of the game will make it appear ... incomplete. Thanks

Hi Guys Since it seems the game is going to be release next year I hope there is still time to consider few different things that might be of interest. I am a huge fan of KoH1, when I first played it was able to move myself away from Med2 Total war due to it interesting mechanich (Real Time > Turn based game) and its different possibilities providing your kingdom many options over warfare. Here few questions: 1) Confederation: would it be possible for a superpower to “confederate” a smaller nation? I give you an example: i play as France and I am becoming the strongest kingdom in Europe… so instead of declaring war on Brittany, would just be possible to annex it without war ? 2) After having sieged a settlement is it possible to chose also these options “Sack and leave” and “Raze it to the ground” ? In the first case it would remain bound to the kingdom i sieged but looted, in the second nothing remains but ruins. If another faction should take, they have to re-build it from zero. 3) What about naval battles? Will they be un-playable for the player or are you planning a naval scenario too? 4.a) In case of victory against a specific state, against a huge empire, would it be possible, as a victory condition, to impose them to grant indipendence to some specific region which will become our allies later ? 4.b) Is there any chance that, after conquering a settlement/region we can create a puppet-state? 5) Is it possible to plan, together with our allies, a coordinated attack to a specific city ? 6) I have seen, in a past DevDiary, that is somehow possible to use Caravan to improvce trade. Would it be possible to use also boat for trade from a port to another ? - Since no map preview has been released we have only seen few parts of it. I believe there MUST be some very KEY-POINT to improve the game. I mean some regions that cannot remain empty, without a settlement to conquer, here my whishlist: ICELAND, EAST COAST OF GREENLAND, FAROE ISLANDS, KIRKWALL (NORTHER SCOTLAND ISLANDS), ISLE OF MAN, GOTLAND / VISBY, AZORES ISLANDS, CANARY ISLANDS, NORTHERN PARTS OF SCANDINAVIA (plase dont cut the map here!!). Thank you for your time See ya
