notes from testers so far:

• hard to tell what figurines turn it is (next release should fix that)
• hard to tell figurines apart (will try to fix)
• hard to tell when movement or skills are exhausted (next release should fix that)
• game crashed (skill issue)
• large levels take a while to appear (maybe fix will come)
• inventory overlaps on large maps (fix will come)
• if first in move order is enemy, you need to end its turn with "n" (fix will come)

bugs found after release:

• ai nomax sometimes ends turn before fireball hits resulting in crash
• ai nomax uses fireball at 3 charge (should be artillery)
• ai search issues
  bugs will be fixed in next release
