Gameplay-wise there isn't much to comment on at the moment, but I did find a bug: fired heroes aren't removed from the list, instead the last hero on the list is removed.
This is strictly a UI bug as the fired hero shows up in the tavern and can't be added to the party, meanwhile the one that disappears can still be added to the party because you can still select them by clicking on the empty spot.
One of my guys died but kept leading the party so I clicked return and he showed up in town with -2 haleness.
