This game becomes a daily chore, keeping up with the latest news and maintaining villages and parishes is just a hassle. I think the reason why it becomes an inconvenience is because it doesn’t matter how much time you "have to" invest in the game, you will always fall short to those factions with deep pockets. I feel like this game has something special in the fundamentals like forcing players to learn about diplomacy, politics, and war strategies, this is a great aspect, but I believe there is a lack of balance in Time spent vs Money spent.
