From most recent play through: (a) Boats still don’t work. (
May begin build of overlord forge after destroying witch tower several turns earlier – forge-overlord victory was off. (
Several 1-3 square sized islands have goodie huts but all cliffs, no coast to allow player to access land. (c) Several heroes (from old system) still appear on map. “Local AI Test Leader’s Army,” [weak, 2-28-10-51], banner read “Learn Beorn’s Letters to recruit level 9 heroes.” Even after learning said tech, still unable to recruit, or interact with this army in any way - Cannot attack, etc. Found a lone hero of same sort from other side, it was attack-able. Hope this helps.
