How would you guys rate Banners of war as a worthwhile addon? I do not have it yet, I buy more games than I reasonably can play so I try to be a bit more moderate and analytical regarding my purchases these Days (basically since 1/1 2014).
I really, really like Banners of war. In a game like this, more variety is always welcome, specifically when it comes to quests, heroes, rewards, tactics, and season cards.
Plus, my group found the expanded units very enjoyable to play with, especially when playing a very militaristic strategy. Without the expansion units, I find you can end up running out of a particular unit type and then your dials are less useful. Being able to recruit an alternative unit from the same slot in the dial helps you to keep growing your army.
Finally, the development cards are a lot of fun to use. I wouldn't say they're always more tactically sound than the development tokens you normally add to strongholds, but they are a lot more interesting.
