Top 'tip' is to use the space bar whilst traveling around the map - it compresses/speeds up time. Have a read through here for some gems (lots to read but worth it) : There is a 'basic' overhead mini map and you can instruct your infantry, archers, cavalry to hold different positions through that too. Plus you can define additional groups for specialist or highly valued troops to keep out of the way.

As a remember if you hold down the number 1 key - a flag will appear on the screen to show were the infantry should hold, 2 for archers, 3 for cavalry.

I also want to pause the game whilst I study the battleplan and then decide what directions I want to give.

What I want to do is stop my troops from charging as soon as battle commences. The Taleworlds forums seems the place to go but requires much trawling and I am a bit time poor.Īre there any M&B warband fans here that can direct me to any guides for system optimization (alas there is no tweak guide) and essential mods? Utterly aceĪfter a scan around on the net I've seen a lot of sites for cheats and mods but there's alot of chaffe amongst the wheat.
