Seems to work fine in a virtual machine. I'm trained by the master (and I look sorta like Vlad the Impaler)! :cool:

Nice. A future vassal of the Varangians, then! :D

With jousting, I've had some real success with turning my horse by galloping away, stopping and turning simultaneously and the starting a charge towards my enemy, makes for tight turns and good control of the horse.

Qnyone gave any other tips?

Also, issuing commands to not have my foot wade across a river to attack a line of bowmen, but instead to withdraw to force the bowmen into the water after us...of course I just learned how to issue commands, this itself has made me a much better commander....

To report, Warband now works flawlessly in wine. The mouse bugs have all been fixed.

Cool. I just used CCleaner on the desktop at home and that seems to have solved the mysterious crashing issues I was having (as well as massive slow down issues in general use).

I figured I should mention this mod for Mount and Blade fans.

Interestingly enough, they've avoiding using the movies as inspiration and use the books alone for it.
The thing to remember about Gary Gygax is he was more inclusive rather than exclusive. He did not call people who liked newer versions of D&D "3tards" or "4ons" or whatever. He may have been critical of things that came later, but he stopped short of making fun of the people who liked that stuff--it's a subtle difference but it is a difference. People should never confuse the OSR or Old School D&D with Gary's personal preferences. People who do are turning EGG into some quasi-pseudo "gamer Jesus", and I think that's wrong.


The last word I have to say on anything...
