Then again, who knows what sorts of changes might have been made since I played last? The last time I started a new game, I had no dificulty accessing the command menus. There are exceptions of course but as a general rule, you can only give commands if you can see your army behind you. They might not have any effect on the world map, in towns and villages, during a seige, etc.

The one thing that hasn't been mentioned is that you can only give commands when you are on the battle-field. The player can give commands from the first fight.

I'm also only talking about Native Warband and Viking Conquest, each mod has its own rules it seems. While mildly difficult to defeat at first, they become nearly powerless later in the game. They are weak and exist all over Calradia. Looters, also called 'River Pirates' in earlier versions, are the standard type of lawless scum. It's certainly not required to call up the menu. Mount&Blade The following types of bandits were introduced in the original Mount&Blade. None of the commands have anything to do with player skills, I don't think. Instead, I just remapped the keys to the number pad. You also need a certain number of troop types to give certain complex formation commands, example, you need more then 5 spearman to form a shieldwall.

Originally posted by danmortkerns:If you are playing on a HP lap top, like I am, you have to hold your shift key, then F1 thru 6 depending on command, and you have to hold it for the cammand catagory, and again for the spec.
