Nice to see the combat system getting some love, it desperately needed it. Do you think there are any chances of you looking at tactics before that patch is finalized? With their ridiculously high bonuses and how random and inconsistent tactics are when it come to their prerequisites, they're really not helping combat feel like an interactive and rewarding part of gameplay.

1. Please get rid of the feeling that "biggest army wins." History is full of fantastic upsets and the game would feel far more meaningful if there was more RNG in the outcome of a battle. As it stands now, if I have 20pct more boots on the ground with levies I expect to win, and I nearly always will.

2. Please fix the Byzantine retinue. It is currently useless due to the bad tactics for Horse Archers.

3. Please make Knights more powerful and impactful. They are currently rather lackluster due to poor retinue combinations and mediocre tactics. This can be done by changing the Knight retinue to all Heavy Cavalry. This will also be fun because Knights are cool. Id like to see the presence of Heavy Cavalry being more impactful to battles via tactics.

4. Please fix how technology spreads to islands.

I love CK2. Keep up the great work! But please see point number 1!

That really isn't how the CK2 combat system works.
I've won battles against 4x larger armies before and I'm sure I'll do so again in CK2.
It's bloody hard to do, but it can be done.

The Frank/Norman Knights were a fearsome sight on the Battlefield.

Is that also true for German knights? After all, I don't see a historical difference between French and German knights.

I like the announced changes so far, with the exception of merging city & temple tech - it would be better to merge city and trade tech. I also would strongly recommend to make the new "minor patch" as you call it, save game compatible. It's really frustrating having to begin again and again from scratch, just to have the latest stuff in game.
Considering the bugfixes of the great works /historical wonders I'd like to suggest to add the Buddhas of Bamiyan as existing wonder to the world map.
