My other stuff are recommendations what i would like to see
-Better archery without a curser but that you have to aim with the tip of the bow like in mortal online or rust
-Directional blocking or better parry mechanics
-A "dodge" which is restricted to short weapons + light armor to give the ability to outplay tanky characters for being very squishy.
I dont like the idea of different character speed ingame ,i would prefer different stamina consumption, wearing different armors to balance light vs havy armor. I dont like if running consumes stamina over time if then only very very little , it should consume stamina only once !! to start the sprint. A fixed ammount of stamina should be lost depending on the weight of your gear to start the sprint , if you get hit you should get a sprint break and need to resprint what will cost you stamina again. this allow much better balance between light and havy equipment.
would be horrible if the havy knight walks and run 10 times slower then the light armored worrior and if the "man @ arms" have no dodge. maybe bit less realistic but important stuff to make pvp fun. what do you think ??? this stamina management stuff make chivalery a good and balanced game imo + the slipstream mechanic which make you walk a bit faster if you are in your opponents slipstream , when you are not further away then 2 meters from him .

-Some darker atmosphere (new buildings maybe execution place) or craftable poles ,where you can put the heads on
-Duel mode or unsharp duel weapons. so you wont kill the other guy using a sword in a funfight which should train your skills
-Dangerous animals and hunting , maybe wind directions so if you move with the wind direction the animal will flee and run far away. compass should show wind aswell
-Be able to sacrefice animals and enemy heads to the monument
-Npc camps where you can find and free slaves that work for you (maybe as a guard , farmer or in the house of plessure which could buff you) maybe being able to train some of your learned skills to npc´s would be great , maybe 50 percent of your own knowladge , and give them tasks. or do they have to suffer for the monument XD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kOaGGjm6dMThis could be a nice way to implement some funny deep conversations with npcs and you can decide to kill or take them with you XD if there are no dungeons. or go even further that you sometimes can find a key aswell that opens a boss instance behind the camp (like in pvp sieges with a scriped epic boss fight noone can interrupt)
- Tribe leader npc could drop special stones sometimes to create a world event !!!! if they get combined properly
See h1z1, rust and all those games have airstrikes
a player driven and started event
maybe in lif a gate in the haven could open or something similar or the tribes could do a signal fire , which you can easy racognize from far away , to get players interested to go there to fight for something.
