Update on 0.86:

1) slightly improved, at least you can directly switch from Equip to trade...

Unfortunately there are some articles you can only use on the equip screen (potion, books, etc.)

I think this need still to be improved.

2) no change...I still do not use the list...I would focus this more on spells and less on units.

3) fixed

3 a) Unfortunately there are now two train / build buttons. Not very intuitive.

6) Slightly improved. The City slider states how many persons are needed and you can check under details if still enough food is available.

Further improvement here is possible

7) fixed

8) I'am still of the oppinion that some clean up in this area would put more focus on the game.

9) this has been greatly improved: fixed

So improvements have happened

10) put the correct help where it belongs: here one annoying think: for potions in the battle just the flavour text appears but not what happens

11) similiar give feedback on what spells do to units during battles

12) Keep in mind to update unit rating for the final version, e.g. Ignys are still rated as Strong but I at least kill them easily. On the other hand the Shrill lord is quite an opponent

13) During Quests also at least a short info (similiar to unit rating) would be helpful, if the next step is a battle...Something like: the sound of the bears sounds like there is quite STRONG/WEAK/DEADLY horde.

14) Also mentioned in other threads: improved handling of units on one tile...

Keep the good work going...

Update on [0.90]

1) slightly improved, now equip is available, but you have no comparison and use is still missing (so items which are removed after usage like potions).

2) no change...I still do not use the list...I would focus this more on spells and less on units. Especially as spells get more and more important.

3) fixed

3 a) this one I did not notice any more, so either fixed or not relevant

4) still not fixed. Resources appear and vanish.

5) fixed with the removal of secondary stats.

6) No improvement you still need to collect this data: food available vs. persons needed to level up

7) fixed

8) If if works for others it works for me. At least 0.90 I noticed for the first time, that I had to decide what to use, as some of my heroes could not carry everything.

9) fixed.

10) still  there, e.g. for healing potion from the shop, there is no quanity description of the effect.

11) for spells this is fixed

12) Unit / Army rating is still not very helpful.

13) In some cases I noticed the army rating on quest symbols, but not yet on all. This should be at least on all symbols, where I already know that a battle will happen.

14) Army management is still a major problem: both on one tile and some times, the next army will be automatically selected (and then I sned those most of the time somewhere on the other side of the map.)

[0.90] Issue

15) the most critical issue I noticed was, that I had one time in my game too many cities to fit on the left side of my screen (1280x1024) and in that case I had no way of scrolling up the list. Mouse wheel worked once, but in that case it was always used for zoom. Only closing of one section reseted the list. On large maps this can get quite cumbersome.

16) On level up of cities and heroes: I can press OK with out selecting anything and I have no chance to get to this screen back.

Overall [0.90] is abig step forwared.

I would currently rate a 6/10.

(I would give a:

7 with the AI being a real challenge on hard,

8 with fixing most of the remaining game play bugs (like not working quests),

9 with balancing,

10 with more unique content)
