Patch notes are posted on the next patch which should be available in 5-7 days. It includes adjustments to the UI for widescreens.
Battles:
- AI brigades now use fallbacks if outflanked (not only if morale is low)
- increased melee losses
- reworked retreat mechanism away from the enemy
- broken groups are now not taking offensive actions any more

Campaign:
- fixed too high attrition due to rainfall
- fixed non-disappearing empty units, when moving between hierarchies the moved unit remained - in its old group in the background
- opening a main panel now pauses the game
- fixed: fort engagements with annihilated troops led to disappearing UI panels

Others:
- UI adjustment to fit widescreen resolutions

I actually did about a 51 minute first impressions video for this on Youtube, but, well, won't upload.  Stuck constantly at 0% processing no matter what I tried.  So no good things for anyone.

I take back everything bad I've EVER said about you SirAndrew.  :hug:

This is a definite buy for me but I am going to wait either until full release or further through the Early Access process.

I don't want the inevitable bugs and balancing issues to disillusion me so I fail to return to the game when it is more complete.

This is my mature and considered approach.

This is my grand plan

The chances of it surviving first contact with the enemy (in this case a host of gushing reviews from early adopters like Sir Andrew,Arizona Tank and Rayfer above)  are probably not good.

Gentlemen. Consider your responsibilities... ;)

Also my grand plan

Step 1.) Wait until out of EA.
Step 2.) Spend the money I saved on pre-ordering Iron Harvest.
Step 3.) .....
Step 4.) Profit?

Is anyone else finding the UI difficult to navigate around in?

If you use that one how would you be able to use this one...

I know one always must take Steam reviews with a large grain of salt, but it sounds like this game needs to cook a bit.  This is certainly an eventual buy, but like Bannerlord I'm thinking letting this simmer a bit isn't necessarily a bad thing.
