Hello,

while analyzing other Themida "bugged" applications (using GameGuard), I tested
a newer version of this game: v0.892.
It seems the protector was upgraded to a newer version which fixes some wine
compatibility issues.
The game starts fine now, I played a bit with demo.

Do not download from their main site for now
(http://www.taleworlds.com/mb_download.html).
Seems they didn't upgrade yet (only non-working 0.808 version available as of
this writing).

Thank the game developers for omitting Themida's ring0 protection techniques.
This allows to play the game under wine.

If you experience a crash, DO NOT use +relay feature to collect logs.
The protector messes with API entries (emulating entry opcode sequences) which
won't work well for some wine API when relay thunks are used.

Regards
