there also seems to be some sort of bug involved with the hero's attacks. i dequipped everything to help get the boss game over anims easier (it wouldn't let me surrender, but i assume that was an intentional thing) and after i re-equipped the sword and everything i realized that the hero could no longer attack destructible objects or first strike enemies, and then in battle his attacks did nothing. it did the attack animation but no damage was made (not even a zero popped up) and it did that for every battle i tried, on multiple maps (tried in goblin camp first, then aqueducts, then the kobold areas) and yea, nothing. restarting the game fixed it, so im unsure what causes it. thought you should know.
and you're welcome for the first bug reports! thank you for making the game!
