I wanted to let you know there were some errors I found in the game. One MAJOR issue was with the items. Non of my units could use the items to replenish HP/MP on themselves or others. And the one guy from the Second fight Didn’t die from the canon fire. I hit him 4 TIMES and he didn’t die. I had to kill him with a unit to end the battle. Here’s what happened:

Thanks for letting me know! The healing items are actually not supposed to work on your undead units, but if they don't work on the Prince, then that's certainly a problem. As for the cannon bug, that's an unfortunate limitation I've found within the engine so far- it can reduce an enemy's HP to zero, but a skill has to be executed on it for it to "count."
Ah, saying it now sounds embarrassing, but it was a short-sighted design on my end. After the "First Act," you're meant to be able to recruit human units, which you can actually heal using potions and the like, but as you say, it is extremely misleading to the player to give them potions when they can't use them in the beginning.
