It doesn't seem to me like the Hero Spirit boost to quest speed is working properly. But, maybe I'm confused. Is the boost applied to all quests or just heroic ones?
I wish that the achievements were done a little differently. I don't like that you can only achieve 3 at a time. So if you happen to satisfy one of the achievements before it's available, you don't get credit. Since a lot of the achievements toward the end are random collisions, it would have been nice to just earn those along the way.
The attack dialog pops up so that your mouse cursor is over the 'okay' button, this allows for double-clicking when you just want to attack with all armies, which is what you want most of the time. When you need to adjust something, you can drag it back onto the map.
For those having trouble with the perspective, try adjusting your strategy. I recommend building up from the back corner, this way your view is not obstructed.
