I always start with saying how awesome I think Elemental is and how I think it is coming together. Perhaps not as smoothly as we all might like but coming together none the less.

One thing that seems to have snuck in is losing some of your champions for no apparent reason. It happened some during beta, then on release I did not see it happen, but since 1.06 it has happened again. I had one of my daughters stationed in a frontier town, prepping for a raid to take a city state (non-major nation city). I went to get the army ready and I guess my powerful spell-casting daughter decided to fly the coop and did not want to fight....she was gone.

Then later, I had the Champion Rissa as my wife, and she was tough. I was simply moving to an adventure location and decided to veer to attack mob too near one of my resources. When I got to the battle field she was gone. restarted my saved game and she was there again and stayed.

Just posting my experience.
