Day Zero impressions so far

I was worried about the quality of the game leading up to the Day 0 version. I have to say i'm quite pleased with the result. Many things even from the last version are good. My screen is no longer covered in too many "goodie huts" and quest locations. Gold is not scarce in the begining so I can train troops(though that might be due to a gold mine near my first town?). Only one crash in the span of 3 or 4 hours instead of one every 20-30 minutes(that was from last version). Not being able to marry immediately is nice. I'm wondering, also, if waiting to marry until you increase your tech level of available champions to recruit would be better since there will be high level champs to marry thus producing more powerful offspring. A lot of the changes have forced a slow down of the progress of a game which is also quite good. Rushing somebody isn't as much an option. I'm still very dissapointed with the lack of random generated land masses, but I think that'll be fixed before the already set up maps become repetative/predictable.

Bravo!
