Fine, it's really exciting to have to manage to survive with just a bunch of spells, and specially be persuaded to cast some usually non relevant like Precision or Avenging Angel!
Did you place Polar Bears on every map, or just in the first two areas? I only found 19 of them, for now. I wonder because I like them and got two items that improve their speed and morale, but with so few available cannot risk my money right now investing on them.
By the way, I run out of Priests and Inquisitors with my Paladin! Argh, now that I reached the third Holy warrior medal.
The game keeps funny and interesting, although maybe there're too many level 4 creatures around. That implies a bit silly/suboptimal to continue carry over level 1, 2 & 3 mobs. Because they rarely have hit points enough to survive all battles without loses and pursuit the Leadership medals. It's a shame.**
** Not that I care much, I'm just worried to catch leadership enough to keep struggling through the campaign.
A bit of criticism:
There're some fights where the visibility of the farest corner of the screen is difficult to track / see in detail. I remember specifically two battles where I couldn't see the grid properly and had to guess. Unfortunately, moving the camera didn't help a big deal. I'll show you some screenshots whenever I get across that situation again.
Kudos:
Avenging Angel and Call of Nature spells changes make such conjurations more desirable. Perhaps the first can be empowered even further. I modified mine locally so it last for 6, 7 and 8 turns on levels 1,2 and three respectively. And still doesn't feel overpowered, mostly because I miss Target but also due to the modest amount of damage it inflicts *and* the high mana cost it has when compared with crowd control "monsters" early/midgame like Slow. Which by the way may be pricier in mana and crystals cost and a bit nerfed. Mine longs for 1,2,3 rounds instead of 2,3,3.
Love to watch ghosts and pterodactyls flying across the sea. Really nice idea to put them there.
I also noted hostile pirate ships notice you and begin your persecution from afar.
I expected a battle inside my submarine, but hey, you cannot have all.
