I'm enjoying Fallen Enchantress.  I'm playing my first game now.  I did notice, however, in my first battle with a lowly bear cub that for some reason the left vertical side of the screen showed many different icons for both my character, Relias, and the Bear Cub.  Then, when the bear cub attacked me, it was allowed something like six or seven attacks in a row.  I was dead just like that.  Then, Relias used his "powers" to escape just before the final blow right?  He then requires a certain number of turns to recover before being active again.  But, he disappered from the game completely.  No sign of him anywhere.  I waited maybe ten or twelve turns and still no sign of Relias.  He is not listed as present at the capitol city (my only city) and nowhere on the left side of the screen where cities and armies are located.  I did verify that he is not a part of any other army as well.  Just thought I'd mention it in case it helps improve the game somehow.  Thanks Stardock for all you do.  I think this game will be screamin' good when all is said and done!!!
