Got my first victory at beginner. I think I'm getting better? It's hard to tell. Killing stuff like the chimera or the gryphon or whatever the 4 of a kind guy is just seems like luck. I've never killed Mordred. Figuring out that finishing the graal quest gets me a lot of knights back helped a lot though.
The behaviour of the tavern seems buggy though, or I just don't get it. Sometimes it'll let me roll guys I get from it on the same turn, other times no?
