[2023] Is there anyone who actually enjoyed the kingdom management / crusade parts in Kingmaker and Wrath?

Because I'm sorry, I can't say that I did. It would be one thing if they were well designed and fun, but they clearly needed more development time and a better interface among other things. An RPG should stick to RPG stuff, not add an inferior copy of Age of Wonders / HOMM on top of it.

Another player put it perfectly imo, when they said 'it feels like having to do chores before getting to play the game'. I originally wanted to do another playthrough of WotR, trying out other classes/mythic paths, but the thought of going through all that crusade management again killed my enthusiasm. I wonder if they'll include something similar in their upcoming Warhammer game too.
