Hi,
Hope you're all enjoying the new combat system. Please leave any feedback on the discussion boards.
Just wanted to re-emphasise that new players should definitely watch the Quick Start Video before attempting their first game. The in-game tutorial is quite comprehensive but it can't easily teach you the way the game flows.
You can view it on YouTube .
In the future, I'll be adding an in-game link to the video, plus a few more pointers to help new players understand the parallel Strategy/Adventure gameplay that drives the game.
