Any more new features to come yet?

[NjwftxrXjtxrfw]

It's January 2025 and currently we are at game version 0.4226.6304.0(stable branch), I know it's still in early access and I've read the road-map and seen the main menu announcement, the game still needs work before official launch, but all I saw were bug fixes and optimizations and such, I wonder is there still any base game feature to add? Like horsemen, city walls, more weapon/armor types, terrains, more soldiers(I know it's not a total war game but call myself emperor with 50-ish soldiers still feels not quite right), or modding support, any of those or any other exciting new features are coming?

The game does currently make note of number of soldiers "on foot" when you're on the map, which implies that mounted troops may be coming. There's also a bit buried in the lore that the Church forbids stone structures higher than an adult's knee (because they want to be the only ones with a stone fortress in all of Norland so that any uppity lord will be easier for the Inquisition to put in their place), so city walls..

Well, may or may not come, but if they do I imagine they'll either be wood (and so mostly just slow attacks down rather than stop them) or they will piss the Church right off if you build them of stone.

City walls are confirmed, as per dev blog. Also visible in the screenshots of the storepage:

While true, I'm starting to wonder at times. They were first meant to come out in October 2024, then we got roadmap 2 stating they'd need a few more weeks in November to finish them, and.. We're now in January 2025 and no word of them, unless you can find something more up to date

(I would LIKE to have city walls, so actually not being sarcastic when I say I'd appreciate something more recent from the devs about that)

There was selling daggers to peasants, during beta, so they can defend themselves against wolves and criminals. But it was removed until updates.
Seasons were in a test phase as well, this is why we getting harvest on third day only. But then season mechanic was canceled, to future development.

So we can expect these features will be back sooner then others, as they are partially developed.

I’m eagerly waiting to play this but want City walls added in first!

I hope walls come soon!

We apologize for the delay with walls. Issues with aligning them to the landscape — specifically to rocks — have necessitated a redesign of the local map’s geometric structure. As a result, we are redrawing our rocks and cliffs and making many other changes. However, we’re confident that the final result will impress you.

Will the "Baron" feature / politics which was announced back in Q3 be coming after the walls addition?

Seasons will be coming eventually. Its the big one I am waiting for. I enjoyed the game so far alot during the open beta they did during the summer. Enough that I bought it on day one it went on sale. But I'm waiting for that before I start playing again.
