So...I'll be brief this time. I encountered two umm... not-meant-to-happen kind of things today in the country overview map. I don't think anyone has posted a topic on them yet, so I'll just put them here. ( Neither are serious issues though, merely a little bewildering )
1. After updating to the current version, I spent something like a dozen turns in the map and got a caravan, when I clicked it I was a little surprised to see that you can buy normal war horses now. (I thought you could only buy normal horses) But when I purchased one and went to the vanguard forces display, the horse was not there, the supplies did not go down and, I'm pretty sure neither did the gold. The purchase was unsuccessful even though the merchant said "Thanks". On my second try though, the supplies went down almost immediately and the horse was there in the inventory. Like I said, no big deal, probably just delayed reaction on the part of my computer. Still I though I'd mention it and see if anyone else encountered something similar?
2. This one is mostly a suggestion. While looking over the new vanguard leaders, I noticed that I had an "axe and shield" unused. (No idea where I got it.) So I equipped Phyrra with it along with good light armor. Then I sent her to fight in the easy arena( lvl 1 ~ 3 ). Well, she went in at level 4 and came out level 10, and was only out because I gave up in the end. (After abusing the bandits to gain a quick straight upgrade to level 10.) Starting with the third bandit, neither side was able to deal any damage until Phyrra eventually turned level 7, then it was level 9 when the fourth bandit fell, and then she was only able to deal 0-1 damage to the fifth bandit. None of them could deal any damage against Phyrra. So...yeah. It made me kind of guilty, after the initial amusement, to abuse the equipment this way, so, uh... Can you maybe change some factors or make it so that no experience can be gained if the enemy is a certain level lower than you or something? On the other hand I totally understand if you decide to keep it this way though, even not dealing any damage would still mean that you have used your weapon(and shield, in this case) so you should get more experienced with combat.
Ahem...not really brief then.. well, those are all that are on my mind at the moment, hope it will not be too much trouble for you to read.
