my two gripes with this game:

[A-BIack_Man]

I've heard (or nobody has confirmed) that you cannot create your own kingdom.  Right to rule is gone too, ive noticed.

Now I can deal with that, but I've noticed something else that I have yet to see mentioned in these forums.  On the world map, I can't seem to engage in multiple fights.  What i mean is, I have never seen the "X party has joined the fight on the enemy side, or on your side."

For example, this game's version of manhunters were chasing a party of bandits, but where a the same speed, so they couldn't catch them.  I decided to help, as they would surely come to my aid.  when i caught up with the bandits, It never said that the 'manhunters' joined my side.  I went back to the map thinking the manhunters must have stopped following them, but they weren't. 

another example was when 2 groups of 5 looters were following me at the same time, and i was thinking that if i let one catch up to me, the other would surely join the battle.  They didn't. 

I feel like you have to fight everyone seperately now, unless they engage another party first and then you join, which makes party speed on the map almost useless.

thoughts?  or maybe you can deny this, because I really hope this feature didnt get left out.

Well, I have been jumped by multiple lords at the same time.. Much to my dismay. So I'd say this feature is still in place?

well thats wierd, ever happer to you with bandits or the like?  maybe it only happens to people within a faction or something,

Did manhunters join you when you initiated combat at all in Warband? I don't remember that happening. I think the true test of this is whether or not an allied lord joins you against a mutual enemy.
