Hi,
I have not played any of the earlier Betas but I did play the original. Anyways I have a couple small suggestions.
1. When attempting to activate the game you need administrator privileges otherwise the application crashes. I should have written the error down when attempting to activate using a non-administrator account, but I forgot to.
2. When finding an item from one of the various locations on the map if you have multiple heroes in your party you are given the option to Trade. When the trade window comes up I personally hit Trade & Equip right away. Unfortunately the first item the hero is carrying, usually his/her weapon is traded to the other party member. It would be useful if the recently found item was selected when opening the trade screen this way. The I could hit trade and equip without having to first select the new item.
3. Several times I have managed to separate a party into multiple parties on the same tile, when I did not intend to do this. There is no obvious way to join these parties back together on the same tile. I have to move them to a different tile to join them back together.
Great work, it is definitely a much more polished and playable game than the original. Keep up the good work.
