Fantastic game! I really appreciate all the work that went into this. As much as I love to support great games, I would really like to see another method of gaining gold bars other than using kreds. It's frustrating seeing all the additional features that can only be obtained by spending an exorbitant amount money.
I agree with the speed issue. I think removing the fade effect for each combat action would really help speed things up, waiting for it to come in and out is gets really annoying.
