Hey guys (and girls), I'm having a problem with using a lance in this game. Now first off, I've played the original mount & blade. It was a very automatic process that was something I never really even had to think about and by what I read in the manual it should be the same way in Warband, yet that is not the experience I'm having.
Here are some of my details:
Tried version 1.00
Tried version 1.102
Riding skill of 7
Agility of 28
Polearm skill of 102
Tried light lance, heavy lance, pike, and a few other type of lance style polearm weapons that have a sharp tip.
Riding a spirited charger
Have tried with and without a shield
Have tried fully encumbered with armor and also fully unemcumbered.
I have tried with multiple toons and started different games.
I have entered multiple battles and no matter what I do all my character will do is ride with the lance carried in a vertical position. I have ridden across level ground and even slightly declining ground and achieved maximum speed on my mount, yet at no point will my character lower his lance so that I can perform proper lance attack.
Is there something that I'm doing wrong or is there something different that you need to know that you didn't in the first mount & blade? Is my game just bugged? Any help/suggestions would be welcome as this is my preferred method of attack in this game and I'm feeling sorely disappointed so far.
