    Eagle and the Radiant cross is a friggin awesome mod, Though i kept gettin pissed cause Blackpowder units would tear the shit out of my conventional army (as they should, but still it pissed me off). I Loved how you could line fire too if you micro managed and simply decimate an entire army with no losses if you had patience, skill, and a lil bit of luck.

    Yes and no.

    I have both Warband and the original M&B.

    Warband is cool , almost exactly like the original, but with a little motion blur on animations. Couched lances can be slightly aimed , can use throwing weapons as melee weapons in a pinch. And multiplayer battles. All the core additions are nice, and the multiplayer battles are ... quaint. The only downside is that it hasn't been out long enough for the mod community to rip it apart and piece it back together as a better product.

    The orig M&B didn't have multiplayer, but that didn't matter because of the plethora of mods available for it. "Prophesy of Pendor" (yes.. spelled exactly like that) Is an amazing add on that way outpaced Warband in terms of scope and enjoyment. Added over 300 new items, 100 new weapons, 3 new nations, 10 event armies, 5+ epic quests, 20ish new party joinable Heroes, wives, kingdom building and quite a few new nifty additions to the combat system. And all this for the original M&B (which i believe is priced at $5 right now.) That mod is just 1 example of the hundreds that are out there. There's a complete star wars conversion, Lord of the Rings conversion, etc. etc.

    The mod community on this game is extremely talented and unfortunately.. haven't released anything terribly exciting for warband yet.

    In conclusion.. But at least one of the two. Warband, or the orig. Both are quality products on their own, but the orig has so much more to offer in terms of mods and extras. I'm sure warband will have the same following , but the fruits will be apparent much later down the road. Either way your money will be well spent, its just that if you want in for the long haul of awesome buy warband. If you want the instant gratification of win, but the orig.
