Do you play as Cathay? How are you getting on?
Playing as the Northern Provinces, I'm enjoying using trade caravans, defending the Great Bastion and trying different combinations of units.
I haven't found a way to confederate the other playable Cathay faction (the Western Provinces). In theory this is possible using diplomacy, but I haven't found a way to do this - has anyone else? (I avoided a military alliance with them, as I've heard that this makes confederation harder - even so, they still don't want a confederation).
Having taken the Storm Dragon into the Dark Sorceror's Realm, my Astromancer reached 44th level (I don't think this was meant to happen, I believe that heroes are supposed to be capped to 40th level). He has maxed out all possible skills, and the game wants me to spend a skill point for reaching 44th level. Has anyone else seen this problem and, if so, did you find a solution? (I always start a new campaign when CA release an update, so this wasn't caused by continuing to play a campaign with a new version of the game).
