I've been playing as a vampire. The starting period was tougher than I expected - poor access to spells. Once I got that new chaos attack spell (can't remember the name, it chooses 9 random damage types), I started feeling powerful. Kamikaze is nice too, once I finally got it. Still don't have geyser or fireball (if they're available), and I'm past level 50.

The new dragon riders are sick with the halving talent. They can essentially do dragon dive every other turn. On the other hand, they're really expensive, and they cost a princess too.

I'm using that new gravity rage ability to clump up enemies, then my imps/liches hit the whole stack at once. Quite effective, especially with the halving talent.

The storyline amuses me so far. I'm going around killing inn keepers everywhere.

I will say it in 3 words: BUY THIS GAME!!! Especially if you are a KBAP enthusiast.

THis game has everything that KBAP had with only 1 bottleneck (honestly, they could have done away with it, but it is extra challenge), till you get your spirit, which gives you the rage box. After that, fun times abound!

Some of the new spells are a bit overpowered. Chaos breath in particular. It took me awhile to try it out. Well, I have a vampire with 67 int right now. I've had a chaos breath make an enemy royal thorn stack's max hp be 5 per unit. It's a bit random, but it's really powerful.

they added some auto rotate feature that is drivng me mad - is there any way to disable it ?

[DGDobrev]

You mean like the camera rotating around your hero? Just move and it stops. I had it happen rarely.

Well the game looks a bit unfinished yet. Im at the Snow Island after the Shelter now and it looks different to the maps i know from KTCW.

No loot, very few enemys, empty shops (ship wreck next to the start point).
Quest log says i should defeat the Guardians of Light but HOW? im stuck...

No kidding - I'm Demoness with I think 33 Intellect and it gave my summoned Royal Griffins 7500hp!

That spell can turn any stack invincible on paper as I cast it on my Red Dragons and they had about 7k hp, but they were bleeding and the bleeding was causing 4 to 6k damage every turn - ouch!

That's essentially how Dark Clot works as well when it freezes targets and causes thousands of damage to enemy troops every turn because of their huge stack sizes.

Go to options and deselect the "auto rotate map box."

Any quest breaking bugs yet guys that would result in a game restart? I'm really keen to get this on steam, but after the WOTN debacle.......

I strongly recommend this game! I can't promise that there are no broken quests (I'm not sure) but so far I am having a great time with it.
