1) updated and when I transferred saves the folder with the newest version was labeled as "20.07.13" instead of 14

2) starting the game now takes very long plus i get a pop-up first with the game picture and the [cancel] button on the left on to options to choose on the right - both options are [<star symbol> game.exe (1.53 MiB)] - the first options starts the un-updated game and the second entry starts the newest version - first time for me that something like this happend

3) the academy upgrade (book symbol) was done immediately (symbol turned from blue to green) and after that I did the research in the first row (strong arm symbol) after the seven turns that symbol turned green and was done but the one for the academy returned fromm green to blue and I had to pay the price again

4) tried the bonus battle - own vanguard was not strong enough (to no suprise) - every time a unit died the symbol/sprite vanished from the map plus it seems the spot where it died turned into an invisible barrier - no other vanguard unit could pass it / the game treated it like it was a wall / an obstacle

5) after all units were defeated and I had to use the exit button - then skipped a few turns to wait for the caravan - baught a few items etc and when I start now any of the repeatable battles none of my vanguard units appear - only the enemy unists / barricades / chests - so only option I have is the [exit] buttone - tried this 2-3 times but always same result
