The Overworld Map on M&B Warband automatically moves for me, help!

Here's a list of some changes that I've noticed

• A new faction was added, the Sarranid Sultunate.
• The map and faction positions have changed.
• There are new political options, for example
  • If you create your own faction, you have the option of recruiting enemy lords
  • Marriage, which works differently if you are a male or female.
• Combat has changed slightly. However, it is difficult to notice unless compared side-to-side. This affects things such as swinging animations and projectile accuracy.
  • Individual arrows, bolts, and throwing weapons can now be picked up off the environment if they miss the enemy.
  • It is more difficult to hit enemies from horseback.
  • In my opinion, the combat is worse. Swinging your weapon is no longer as quick or as intuitive as the original. They probably made these changes to balance the multiplayer mode.
• The graphics are now better, though still nowhere near that of games with large development costs.
• There is support for custom single player battles, where you can choose the two factions and Cavalry/Infantry/Archer ratios as well as the map and game type (battle and siege).

As a side note, the multiplayer mode is quite fun and I suggest you try it at least once.

I believe that there is a theoretical maximum on the renown (people have reported that over 2000 renown it gets increasingly difficult). I presume that the diminishing effect of this cap is not stated in the calculations before the tournaments/battles and will be when you actually get the renown.

This probably results in the effect you are having, you get 24 renown from the battle stated, before the diminishing returns are calculated.

The formula to calculate renown works as follows:
The higher your renown, the less renown you gain for the same activities. Any time you gain renown, the game takes your previous renown, divides it by 200, then subtracts the result from the renown that you just gained.

Or, as a formula:

Actual Renown Increase = Stated Amount - (Current/200)

So, in order to gain 7 when it says you gain 30, you would need to already have 7400 renown:

7 = 30 - (Current/200)
Current/200 = 37
Current = 7400
