Truefire - first of all, there is ability to skip the hints by "Skip Tutorial" button at the top of the screen. But secondary yes, we will change time of appearing for the hints, thank you for your suggestion.
DatenshiSan - perhaps shooting while retreating will help, but anyway that is endurance Castle, so it's almost impossible to pass it without casualities.
Mentalflows - yes shields repairs after come back to the gates (not castle), as there is your base (btw how can you discover that;)). But careful, monsters can reach the gates (and your knights) before you'll back with brand new shileds!
MentalFlows - congratulations! Yes possibility to buy items again after save is "feature bug", and Life Ward is good award for those who passed the most difficult part of Gryphonia.. Furybolt - umm... everything is possible in the future;)...
Weredeer - we are win in the all provinces many times before releasing, but anyway some of them require special weapons, some - tactical tricks, especially "shooting in retreat"... However, PM us in case if you found something really unbreakable!
Weredeer - oh, now i see what you mean! That is only mean that Mistery Shield is more nice to buy, than another one, but other one nice to sell in case if you need money;).
Weredeer - Glefur Shield is really nice item, but it sooooo slow that will make you really unhappy to use it all the time even for so perfect price;). But someone like to use things like that, that is allowed in the game. Usually it is only for a few levels where you can't pass without him.
About region 7, level 8 - thank you, it seems like a bug!
Weredeer, please, carefully look at *anything* that you have in the your inventory. Some items are really helpful to pass the levels... Some levels just too hard to pass without casualities, but most of them contains some tactical solution, that when you'l find it you will be very surprised how handy it is;)...
dannyboyII - any creature in the game can be hurt & defeated. Sometimes you should use special weapons, that can be achieved on the later levels... Carefully look on what is appears in the your inventory...
OjisanKG - yes it takes time to control them well, but it is possible, together with hotkeys (backspace is very handy!). Yes game is not easy on the later levels, but nobody says that Gryphonia can be easely liberated;)...
By the way, if someone set lower rating for the game just because tutorial hints, you have a good reason to change it to what you really think it worth;).
