Wrath of the Righteous. BG3 coming out reminded me I had gotten it on sale at some point and I liked Kingmaker. Its scratching that Pathfinder itch since Covid dissolved my irl group, but Jesus frick the army mechanics are such a slog
It looks like an implementation of troops mechanics from pen and paper pathfinder, you have different unit types on essentially a chess board. It's just very unituitive and a little punishing at first while you're trying to figure it out. As @bogged said, it's gets a lot better once you get a good army figured out. Still, it'd kind of be like if the witcher 3 made you play gwent games to progress the main story.
Same, although the army stuff doesn't bother me as much after you get a good army going. Plus, every once in a while this buggy mess of a game throws you a bone and it's great. For example, a stack of one of those big grasshopper things attacked my stack of 15 shieldbearers and somehow I ended with 208 of them .

Gwent was great, but it still would have not been good game design to require winning some gwent games in order to play the main story

Yeah once I got the basics down and realized archers are the best unit so far its been easier. Also good general abilities help a lot.
