Overall I like the game, and it has a lot of potential.
I can live with all the drawbacks a game - coming from a small software company - has, and hope things will get mended soon.

Bugs
I will list everything for the sake of completeness, even stuff that has been mentioned before.
  • Prologue Bug Installed the prologue (after main-game) but all text-quests are missing the text. fixed by complete reinstall
  • Prologue Bug When opening the "Military Advancement for the first time, the Tutorial hint flies away, i lose mouse focus and can't click or interact with the game anymore. new
    Workaround: Hammer the ESC key like mad when it happens
  • Neverending hero levelup one time, i cant remember the circumstances i was allowed to promote 2 of my generals,
    and select their bonus from levelup. I could do this endlessly, until one hero had the following dialog when choosing the lvlup bonus:
    Sir Lawrence Lvlup Dialog
    That happened to 2 heroes in one army (with morgana). I had to throw them in the Reserve to rot.
  • hero skills not working There are some skill that apparently dont work. I am talking of the skill that gives the hero +10 defense. My heroes with that skill still have zero defense.
    I also wonder if the skill that increases hero damage works, and i am pretty sure some of the healing mechanics are borked too, will test further. (Lancelot's Skill Lancelot's Defense)
  • artifact sets borked there are some artifacts out there that give the SAME bonus when you wear 2 set items, as when wearing one alone.
    for example i got an armor that says
    2 defense
    2 defense (when wearing 2 items of the set)
    Click to expand...
    first I thought, ok then its 4 defense when i got 2 items, but its not.
  • Diplomacy in london you can do a quest to repair buildings. The second option requires you to have 3000 gold, but you get 3000 gold when it resolves. My guess would be you should have to pay 3000. new
  • Diplomacy Theres a diplomacy action where you get +5% magic shield. When selecting it the second time the game crashes.
  • CTD when doing any diploamtic action in chapter 5 (Reported by Dulkan)
  • CTD in battles vs the christians in chapter 5 (Reported by Dulkan)
  • Impossible to ally yourself with Sidhe Conucil even if you fulfill all requirements. (even in Chapter 5 with 100 Rep it was impossible)(Reported by Dulkan)
  • Impossible to do diplomatic actions with the old faith saxons, even if you fulfill all requirements (Reported by Dulkan)
  • Impossible to gain reputation with the Sentinels (you start at 50 with all 3 main heroes, yet there are options which require 60 and as you won't get any more main heroes those can't be used) (Reported by Dulkan)
  • Defeating Fomorians doesn't grant rep with King Cole (Reported by Dulkan)
  • Not enough reputation available to get stuff from King Daffyd (+5 rep per tier, I ended up with 45) (by Dulkan)
  • Non-Aggression Pacts last forever (this may be fixed now, but at least it didn't work with my savegame) (by Dulkan)
  • A couple of voice-overs during adventure quests don't play (by Dulkan)
  • Some research does nothing: Twilight disciplines and Wanderers research are supposed to unlock new actions at the respective buildings but nothing was available, I assume this applies to similar technologies as well. (by Dulkan)

Issues
  • Recruitment Cost Tier 5 Wolfkin cost 10000 to recruit, altho a dragon costs less. new
  • Lancelot Lancelot cant be selected for most upgrades from diplomacy new
  • Forging Forging is random. Yes you get the item type you want, but when you put 3 items in the forge. Remove 1 item of them and put the item back exactly where it was, you can forge a different item. Out of 3 items you can generate about 10-20 different items.
  • Crafting Items Those recipies drive me mad. I dont want to spend several years running from trader to trader to finally get the "Enchanters Blurp of the Foobar" (for 8000 gold). So far i have not crafted a single set-item and i have the requirements printed out lying in front of me and 75% of the game finished.
  • Set Items By the time you get to craft one, they are too weak. new
  • Missing Texts Some actions and heroes are missing Text/Description. Also some special characters in town names and hero names cannot be displayed correctly (Example)
  • Crystal Shard Spell Upgrade does nothig See here new

Fixed
  • Act IV Bugged After defeating the 4 armies at end of Act 4, nothing happens. Defeated 3 with Lancelot and 1 with Pendragon
    Ok apparently this was not a bug, there were just no quest icons showing anywhere. After defeating 2 Formorian Armies in their towns i did get the option to close the gates. My bad.
  • missing flag texture fixed
  • crash when fighting random army fixed


Just my 2cents
Thx for your patience reading this.

I had flying units attacking my cavalry and while they could not be ordered to attack the flyers I noticed that when the flyers attacked them they took some damage. But yes archers are the only effective method for regular troops, I have never had too many problems with the enemy fliers but I always have 4 archer units with my armies. I have noticed though that the enemy is always one shotting my fliers with spells. It pisses me off to no end when I level my talon fliers up and get extra abilites on them and then the enemy uses a meteor strike or lightning and the unit is wiped out instantly. So I can't say the AI has issues with them they seem to deal with them quite well.
 
Oh well,
i thought i'd play the prologue until those ACT 4 bugs are ironed out, and seems i can't play the prologue since all quest texts are missing.

It only says quest.text.blah.state31 ... which ruins the immersion.

Also steam now says the game is not installed, and when i want to install it, nothing happens.

Can start the game when calling the .exe directly but then i have no quest text

Edit: was able to fix this with steam restart & complete reistall

A few I've come across
-For some reason I started getting about 50-80 thousand gold after every fight in chapter 2 and every item I got after the battles had the recipe icon.
-The upgrade for crystal towers that allows you to build Unseelie Champions requires 19 Christianity instead of Old Faith.
-I crafted the "Blood of Firbolg" ring from a recipe and instead of having the stats that the recipe said it would have it just had +4% hp every 5 seconds and 1000 HP.
-Springborn and Autumnborn have exactly the same stats/costs except that springborn have an extra unit skill.
 
A couple of more bugs from me (I think some of those are already mentinoed in other threads, but I'll add them for completions sake)

CTD when doing any diploamtic action in chapter 5
CTD in battles vs the christians in chapter 5
Impossible to ally yourself with Sidhe Conucil even if you fulfill all requirements. (even in Chapter 5 with 100 Rep it was impossible)
Impossible to do diplomatic actions with the old faith saxons, even if you fulfill all requirements
Impossible to gain reputation with the Sentinels (you start at 50 with all 3 main heroes, yet there are options which require 60 and as you won't get any more main heroes those can't be used)
Defeating Fomorians doesn't grant rep with King Cole
Not enough reputation available to get stuff from King Daffyd (+5 rep per tier, I ended up with 45)
Non-Aggression Pacts last forever (this may be fixed now, but at least it didn't work with my savegame)
A couple of voice-overs during adventure quests don't play
Some research does nothing: Twilight disciplines and Wanderers research are supposed to unlock new actions at the respective buildings but nothing was available, I assume this applies to similar technologies as well.
 
-I can't seem to complete the London quest without fighting Carradoc even though I'm almost positive I did it in my first game. If its not supposed to be possible why is there special diplomatic missions for London that requires Tier 5?
 
@Dulkan: Thx for your bugs, added them.
i was able to ally with sidhe, but then that was before a couple of patches. Maybe you have to be Heathen/Tyrant to do so?

@Bogarts: It is possible to finish London without fighting, at least it was in my last game.

What i noticed some days ago, is that on many quests/diplomacy dialogs you can change between Tabs, i.e. a quest can have more than 4 options available... often there are very interesting options in the additional tabs... like closing a gate without paying ANY artifact for it and getting tyrant points for doing so...
I mention that because maybe so it could be possible to get above the 50 needed relationship sometimes
 
The return of sir bors quest, or it's just turn 24 causes the diplomacy with Daffyd to drop to 38, which makes it impossible to have any kind of diplomatic action with him afterwards. Don't know how this could be avoided, but it's definitely a bug. :confused:
