Version 1.005 is now live which adds a feature to delete old 'Saved Games' to release disk space.
There is a new button on the 'Main Menu' which will open a dialog where you can rapidly delete old saved games.
The 'Load Game' dialog now supports the multiple deletion of old saved games (instead of having to do them 1 at a time as before).
We hope you enjoy the improvements in this update, please let us know if you have any problems with the new features.
All the Best.

Version 1.004 Update
Hi All.
We have just released Version 1.004 which includes a couple of Community requested new features.
We have made significant improvements to the Army Management screen.
The 'Bank' will now be included on the 'Inventory' page for each unit so that items can be transferred directly between the two. With this change, a unit can now be equipped directly from the bank and items compared (via tooltips) to see which are the best fit.
Units can be cycled through ('Previous Unit', 'Next Unit' buttons) to rapidly equip/unequip, change spell books etc. rather than having to return to the main page each time.
We have also changed the in-play options for transferring items between units. You will now be able to select in your 'Player Options' whether units must be next to each other on the battlefield to effect a transfer or whether you can transfer from a unit to 'any unit'.
We are also looking in to a way to make transferring items between units on the battlefield more 'friendly' but this is complex and will take a while!
We hope you enjoy the improvements in this update, please let us know if you have any problems with the new features.
All the Best.

New: Added confirmation to Exit Game button on Main Menu.
Fix: Resolved an issue where upgrading an Enhanced Ability duplicated the new ability.
Apologies to all who encountered the Enhanced Ability bug. Unfortunately any unit that has the duplicated ability cannot have it removed.

Hints and Tips #1
Did you know that....
If your troops have been through a particularly tough encounter and are looking a bit battered, they can rest for a turn or two and will recover lost Hit Points and/or Mana Points over time.
A unit will recover under the following conditions:
It did not act in the current turn.
It did not move in the current turn.
It has not received any damage in the current turn.
It does not end the turn next to an enemy unit.
The amount the units will recover is calculated using the Recovery Rate options you can set at the beginning of a Campaign (the default is 25%).
The down-side of troops being idle is that it can make getting the scenario bonus harder to achieve as you are losing time.
Hope the above is useful.
All the Best.
