I created an account so I could comment this. Love the game, I check for updates almost every day and have run through every piece of content available. The loop mechanic is certainly a step in the right direction, though the fact that there's only about 4750 or so max power available makes the 5k requirement for the demon assassin a hard cap (though I trust this will change with future updates).
None of that is my main point, though. This wasn't the case in previous versions, but now you cannot gain enough animal handling through the goblin path to tame the dire wolf. I believe changing the skill gain for animal handling for taming regular wolves from 1 to 5 would rectify this, or maybe adding another action that gives experience (like taming rats, maybe).
Granted, the 15 power gained from the dire wolf is marginal at best, but I'm a completionist and never go for the content demon until I clear everything I possibly can.
Great game, I look forward to what you have in store.
Edit: It is also now impossible to clear "Plunder city," since it requires 500 slaughtered citizens when only 100 are now available. Again, the reward is of no consequence, but I'm a completionist. I'm also starting to realize the addition of the precision skill is what skewed so many things, seeing as capturing rabbits doesn't provide animal handling experience anymore and is the stem of the issue I addressed above.
