I'll second releasing the mod now. Societies can always be added later and I am itching to play the update.

I'd say wait, personally. I'd much rather wait to play a complete release with larger impact.
Wait, and repurpose the Black Numenorean Kingdom in Northern Africa, with the addition of this island.

Ah ah, i love to ask you
Well, i'll wait again a little. Maybe one week or two then.
The other Black Numenorean Kingdom won't move, i think it's good at this place.
I will also go with "wait and do it proper" unless you can tell you'll likely take a hiatus for a sizable timeframe, as has happened before for you. =)
What is meant by "societies" not being finished?
I'd vote for a release sooner rather than later. Simply because even though I've always been a Lonhaldar fan for a very long time, he has dangled WIP materials for this mod before only to then disappear for literally years.

Things like the Benedictine Order, Warrior Lodges, and the like, but for Elves/Orcs.
I mean, its easy to install the Orders of Chivalry mod guys, be DWARFY and tell him to release it now and just install that mod alongside this. Are you weak, pansy elves, or are you TRUE DWARVES?
That wouldn't work, because those are for the rulers of the regular cultures and religions. They're not only wrong culture, but wrong religion, since the new races have their own. They wouldn't even show up for them.
What i meant is that new societies are structurally done, but needs all the correct events to works correctly. They'll give specific powers but i didn't integrated them so far.
Bloodly is correct, no societies will be shown for the Middle-Earth cultures/religions, so we needs to add our owns. But well, the game is playable without them. Can be a little patch later.
The changelog is already huge without them :

Thanks for the report, will fix the daggers! It was already in the previous build btw but nobody noticed it and me neither ^^
For the Ruler Designer, i don't know. I'm very bad at this kind of bug-checking, and i think this should be linked to one of the portraits somewhere... it wasn't on the top of my priority list...
But... the game is going well even with these small bugs, right ?
