I Love this game And I hate this game

[youyeven]

This game gives me really mixed feeling, I almost have fun with every aspect or mechanic the only exception to this is the inheritance of knowledge and how the tech progresses. It requires unbelievable amount of micromanagement, luck and the right skills to maintain the tech my people learned. And everytime I get a new building the fear is inside me that a death spiral will start if a random event leads to the death of my guy or that i mess something up....... Its an interesting system but I dont like the execution.

My personal wish for this system would be a thematic split of the books ans knowledge. Buildings and tech should be stored by the libary and still be available if someone has learned them. This way it feels more like this knowledge has to be incorporated into the society and it makes more sense that my peasants still know how their job works.
The other books should be skill based books that affect my characters, this knowledge then would totally make sense to be lost if the people die, poisoner as example.

The System at the moment is more frustrating then fun and not even realistic hopefully this will get improved on in the future because I would enjoy every other part of the game way more this way

You can easily pass the knowledge to others when you spend time or use wise conversations. But yeah a death on a single character can halt or even doom your settlement.

The Problem with the wise conversations is that it is so intense on micro management, you need good relations and then there is only a chance that knowledge will be transfered. Would be great if Lords automatically start wise conversations randomly.
Its definetly a task that is possible but I think that the task is annoying and does not bring and enjoyment

They do start wise conversation randomly, they just need free time. They then can spend time with somebody, do wise convos, hunting etc. I think knowledge are great asset of the game, adding to story generation. Its interesting chalenge when you lost your lord on someting like hunt and now you need to quickly relearn half of your crucial production chains :D (and that how you learn not to depends on single lord to learn books :D )
