Things that have not improved

Ah, cool idea. They could be looking forward to spending the coin next time the party stopped at a town, gambling and wenching.

...and not stopping for some R&R for a long time could give morale penalties. Kinda like in Pirates, which this game is allegedly supposed to be like, where you had to go and divide up the plunder once in a while or you'd have a mutiny on your hands sooner or later.

5) Formations and a GODDAMN PRE-BATTLE SCREEN WHERE I CAN TELL MY MEN WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE BATTLE.

The last one especially.

This!

I would consider naming my first child after the modder who makes it so I'm not frantically mashing keyboard buttons as soon as a battle starts....just so I can get my troops to hold still while I take 2 seconds to glance at the map and formulate a fast plan. Just change the starting orders from charge to Hold Still dammit

Giving orders to troops take to long time and is troublesome, i mean u shout some 20 seconds orders (10 if u are quick) but by then faster mounted troops are already battling with eachother.

Yea game needs minimap.

Also in multiplayer sometimes damage inflicted to me is delayed , don't know why but its really strange to die about some second after the lance wielding rider has passed u.

- still can't access party screen while siege is in progress, have to abandon siege to be able to change troop spawn order - RIDICULOUS!
- character export still exports only very basic character info, other stats (items, number of troops killed, renown and honor, poems known, etc) are not exported
- related to that, still no way to export/import companions
- still need to enter conversation with companion to be able to access their inventory and stats - why are there no 'next/previous character' buttons on those screens?
- still need to loot/sell items one at a time, no 'loot all', 'sell all' buttons

- Similarly shortcut keys for party and inventory screens are still disabled when helping an ally. Very annoying.

- You still can't talk to village elder from menu.

Quick battles are fairly strange and force you to play always. But an option to se te battle real time without being in it would be nice. Just like a spectator in a MP game, but in SP. Maybe commanding too, you have your map like always and command your troops. Like a RTS but at small scale and without that upper view. You still have to see the battle but you won't have to worry about you getting knocked by a loose arrow and loosing the battle. (ya know, like a real commander who doesnt touch the battlefield until the battle is over )

Having bought both M&B and Warband, it makes me sad that many of the issues listed here have been addressed in free user made mods for M&B but not in the expansion that I paid $30 for. On the other hand, multiplayer is pretty good.

BTW, anyone know how to change directions in formations? During sieges my archers sometimes don't line up properly facing the castle wall.
