Base interactions reminded me of XCom, which is great. Lacks some QoL stuff like being able to send a guy to train directly from his portrait.

The game itself is really cool, needs some time to get used to, but I actually dig the strategy element of it. Very, very cool stuff.

Thanks for playing!

Nice, I like the new human models, but the demons are pretty generic.

The base UI could use some improvements:
Right clicking on a portrait on the living quarters hides the panel on the bottom left, double clicking does nothing.
Maybe you could change it so you open the unit panel with right click and double click to select them for a mission.
Also events should appear in a log somewhere.

There's still that old bug where hovering over an enemy disables your hotkeys.

I had a bug after beating a mission with a dead lord where upon returning to the base I couldn't research anything, recruit anyone, the buttons did nothing and scanning did nothing:

I absolutely agree.  These are good suggestions.

I'll take a look, see if I can't figure out what's going wrong (the second one particularly).

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

If you want to and tell me where to find the savefile I can send it to you, the second bug keeps happening every time I load it.

That'd be great.  You can find the saves at:
