Other than that, my first steps on the campaign are being quite enjoyable. The artistic level design looks amazing so far.

are you using the latest version 1.1? The crash at Gunnar Priest should be fixed.

I'm afraid yes.

Besides, I'm suffering random crashes to desktop every now and then.

I started out a new game with a warrior and the crash at Gunnar Priest was gone. The same happened with a paladin.

It seems the bug was caused by the order I advanced through the beggining. I'll try to reproduce it again tomorrow.

Allright, I think I've got it. The bug triggers when you speak first with the orc taking care of the baby dragons and then accept his mission. After that, you speak with the man who sells or trades his vessels and submarine, and then, go straighly to the temple/church where Gunnar Priest is, ask him about his problems, and after accept his mission, ask him about his wares.

Ok, I'll check. Thx. Hope you're having fun. It is more challenging than a normal Xworld, but not impossible, a player finished on the Impossible difficulty.

Yep, it seems rather interesting and funny. The level and artistic design are both good, amazing even. At least in the first islands.

Enemies are well placed to avoid excesive kitting and are diverse.

The map exploring is rewarding.

The creatures on sale are also diverse.

It's a shame you prefer not messing with scripts, AI improvements is what I miss the most in King's Bounty. By a large margin. The opponent heroes in vanilla, have absurd/poor spell choices and make decisions alike.

I'm playing on Hard with a paladin.

I'm suffering frequent CTD after battles. It's quite frustrating.
