Warband was basically better in every way.

Well, no, I'd say M&B has way more interesting mods and porting them to Warband is either a quick and dirty process or a clean and incredibly tedious process.

Sadly, I tried the demo for Warband and even after turning down the settings it ran very badly.
For now I'm going to buy the original- I guess Warband will go on the long, long list of games I need to play someday, when I have a decent enough PC to play them! :)

Yes. Warband does not like mods, unfortunately.

Speaking of Mods- tried to get together some people to do a Voice/Language Pack Mod for XCOM.
Except apparently the code on that game is obtuse to the point of being practically impenetrable.

Which isn't exactly happy thread.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

Although in my case it's limited to English (American), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Polish and Russian. God forbid I ever have a Chinese or Japanese or even Brazilian teammate - then they're stuck with American accents.

Is the bits we were trying to fix.

We had most of the Asian languages, British, Scottish, Australian and South African. And a few other handraises before the guy who put himself in charge of coding came back and was all like 'Oh hell no'.


Good for a chuckle, if you like drunk stuff.

DAMNIT YOU PEOPLE STOP HAVING INTERESTING AVATARS.

Beware some avatars here I've noticed are cropped versions of NSFW images.

Sure, but sometimes the only finds are bay12 one (linking to the same avatar), which aren't really helpful.

A while ago I found an iPod on the street outside my work. It's a light density downtown urban area with a park adjacent and it's right next to a train station and bus hub.

Didn't see anybody around, so I went inside and got to work. Between tasks I checked out the iSomething. Dunno if it was a phone or just an iPod. No visible markings, screen is whole. Turned it on - it works! No identifying information on the desktop screen. Opened the contacts list and found like 3 people. Called one and got a response that day - turns out the guy lost it before he got on the train going to work. Gave it back to him when he came through on his way home.

There's a lot of foot traffic through the area when the train comes through. I must have found it soon after he dropped it.

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if it ran better. Warband is more of a re-release than a sequel.

They are running on the basically same engine, except Warband's is tweaked to support HDR if you want/can use it, plus some other improvements and bugfixes, one of which is a very very important fix that is available for M&B but only in an unofficial release - namely, Large Address Awareness (without it if you have more than 2 GB RAM the game won't be able to use it).

Gameplay-wise, they are nigh-identical as well, except Warband adds another faction, kicking, and WAAAAAAAAAY better animations, plus multiplayer (sadly no co-op campaign, though last time I check a modder was on it).
They still didn't fix "alarums", though.
