Just finished first Beta 4.1 as the Priest.  I found Peregan the Ranger, one thing I noticed, and perhaps this was an additional error.  Athica started near two shards, consequently it had 30+ essence and I was able with the initiative buff, have 90+ initiative units.  The mounted units would react before the archers, even though Peregan had the trait which allows archers to fire first.  One other thing about the automatic firing first, the archers seem to use a special ability.  Not very keen on this, since it is AI controlled.  Aside from some minor nitpicking, really enjoying the beta the game is shaping up nicely, have zero interest now in playing Fallen Enchantress, for my own tastes Sorcerer King is significantly better.
