If you get Regen before you talk to John Freeman's Brother, you can never get John Freeman's Brother in your Codex. A pretty minor bug, except that it means I'll have to start from the beginning to get all the badges.
It still has the biggest flaw of the earlier games - it rewards you with cash/experience for drawing battles out as long as possible, rather than winning decisively.
Does anyone know if it's possible to use the savegame string copy feature to transfer your game to Armorgames, earn the locked Lost Amulets, and transfer back without losing the amulets?
Desert Pass is good for grinding the poison upgrade awards, if you do it right you can train 30-40 poison mages per visit (depending what other awards and skills you have).
Hmm... looks like you can place a hero at the beginning of a map, regardless of whether you can actually afford that hero. It just drops you to negative gold. Makes the "heroic efforts" award a lot easier, at least.
As far as I can tell, the hero effects do work, but they aren't shown on your other units' stats. At the very least, I know that I've seen completely non-upgraded warriors trigger Berzerk when I had the "all warriors get a 1% Berzerk chance" hero in play.
Seemed like fun at first, but the slow gameplay (too many clicks, too slow animations) and the numerous bugs really killed it for me. 2/5, maybe I'll check back and see if they fix some bugs later.
Extremely buggy. I killed the last enemy on a level with poison, and the resulting experience gain caused Kage to pass a level-up milestone... but he didn't gain a level, and now neither of my characters can attack in other battles.
I like most of the changes, but the skill system seems useless and there are numerous bugs... for one thing, I've seen a bug where a newly-placed mage can one-shot kill anything until the end of its first wave. I can't make it happen reliably, though, it just seems to occur randomly.
I managed to play all the way through to the end in one sitting, and it's actually surprisingly short. It has the feel of a well-done beta; only half the map is used, there don't seem to be enough points available to buy out the entire shop, and most of the animals are never used. Please post it again when the game is complete (and allows you to save!), it's very fun and addictive.
