By the way, I said that the sound gets muted when the music does, but that's not quite what happens. The sound works perfectly fine, UNTIL you start a quest, at which case the sound stops working if the music is muted.
For Defense Quests, I really think there needs to be some way to increase the amount of gold you earn or lower the cost of bringing in new soldiers. Or better yet, start with at least one of my recruits on the field. Or an ability to set up slowing traps on the field. Or SOMETHING. Because right now, I find that trying to complete Gentlemen Thieves is an exercise in futility. They come in such great numbers, in formations that are not suited to a mage's attack range, and it's not for lack of training or equipment, but I just am not able to hold out long enough to get enough gold for even one of my recruits.
Actually, I figured it out. Any time a piece of equipment has a Resist Bonus or Mana Leech effect, it will show up normally, UNLESS in the storehouse, where it will be displayed as Mana Burn instead. That definitely needs to get fixed.
