Mine too.
Reloaded 5 times on turn 1, haven't yet succeeded in completing it, but I'm gunning for it. Already saw horse facing sideways, square heroes, no level up screen.

Wow, I'm impressed. I decided to give the beta a try, because someone was kind enough to send me a key. The game is not just bugged, it's literally unplayable. First, I tried to start game, but it crashed before I even came into game. Then I tried again, this time I managed to start the game, but it crashed when I went to hero's skill screen. Then I tried for the third time, this time I forgot to check random skills, and since there's no way to see what skills or class your hero is when selecting him/her in the game setup (or am I missing something) and I disliked the hero I got, I had to quit and restart. Then I tried yet again, this time I remembered to check random skills, but again disliked the hero I got, but there was a better one in Hall Of Heroes, so decided to give it a go - however, once I reached level 2, the box to let me choose skills never popped up, the screen just went darker and nothing happened. Hitting Esc and clicking the skill pop-up on right didn't change this.
Also, setting up the game, default setting is I control all four players. And I chose Single Player. Seriously, Ubisoft?

Funny, the beta has only chrashed once for me. Played it quite alot actually. Info about faction and heroes when choosing will be added till release. The random lvl up bug came after the update. Just press esc when the screen turns gray and enter the skillwheel manually, u can choose there. I agree about the default setting of AI/Human players in single player though.

Then you've been lucky. I lost track of the number of crashes but it has occured to me about half a dozen times or more per evening of playing it. Pre- or post-patch doesn't differ in that respect and I know of at least a few other people who also experience multiple crashes per gaming session.

It only crashed one time for me too. And yeah, it's a promotional demo. I have a very hard time believing this game will be any decent at release. Probably when they release an expansion and nobody gives a snow the game will be somewhat decent, but i hardly believe it.
So i just cancelled and be done with it. If they gave me a free access to the beta, sure i would beta test from time to time, but not this way.

Ok I figured out the level-up thing, so I actually managed to play some. Verifying game files also helped, and this should be done after every crash, since game files seems to corrupt like ****.
Anyway, here are my initial impressions.
- Game is slow. Not just slow like H5-slow, but sloooooooow. Everything seems to take forever.
- Movement on adventure map is ridiculously low. You can move 10 steps, then have to wait for new turn. Even on road. It's absurd.
- AI doesn't seem to pick up resources at all. I was several months into game and got the seers hut, and I could see AI aimlessly walking around without picking up resource stacks.
- Game seems to crash almost every time I try to switch out artifacts.
- Diplomacy skill is ridiculously overpowered. We're talking all the fears we had when seeing the skill description, and then some. I have an army of around 100 Marksmen and same Legionaires. 21 Rakshasa want to join me? Oh please, come in. 18 Cavaliers want to join? Sure, I'll make room. Oh, another 18 Cavaliers? Sure, join the party. 91 Apprentices? Certainly. 91 Chaplains? Perfect, come on in boys. And it's all free of cost, and I didn't even take the skill that makes it free of cost! Bug!?
- The fact that you can walk up to an army and then just press cancel to prevent combat is broken in combination with Diplomacy. Hey guys, do you want to join my army? No? Ok, talk to you later. What about you guys over here, do you want to join? Yes? Jolly good. What about you guys back here, have you changed your mind now? Really? Awesome, come on in. Etc.
- Wolves suck *** big time. They are large, they do **** damage, and they die like flies.
Oh, and did I mention Diplomacy skill is broken?

On small map the game feel faster and more fluid at first. On the bigger map the game becomes sluggish and slow very fast and becomes unbearable the more you go on with crushes, broken animations etc.
I get the feeling the champions should feel more Champion. I mean the earth elementals has more HP than Simurgh, which in my books is wrong. The weaker Champion should still be stronger than the strongest elite of the game.

I don t have access to the Beta but i m not worrying about this. This could be a part of the balance and to me it s reasonnable to have slower hero compare to older HMM (there are caravans if you wanna go faster)

Diplomacy to discuss : i ve created this for talking about it.
First question : Do the entire stack join you everytime ? I mention in Diplomacy topic but i m not sure, if not the skill is still bad and I ve asked Elvin to add it to the wish list changes.
Second Question : Golden-tongued, As the skill is already OP, it looks idiot to comment this ability, which seems OP as well. I would like another ability instead of this, but i don t manage to find it. For now, decrease the cost of joining your army to 50%.
Third question (and not the less interessant) : I m asking myself if the synergy between silver-tongued and Amnesty could be inverted. In fact, there s no interest to get Amnesty as soon as possible so the skill can appear later - in other hand, silver-tongued would benefit from the lower prices of the neutral at the beginning of the game. Can i hear your opinions ? I feel the order more natural.

Already? What, 10 days of beta testing? I'm not very familiar with these things, but I thought it was too soon, specially in the face of all the, er, matters at hand.
Anyway, good luck for those who will buy it.

Maybe developers were scared by 1000 bugs found, so they decided to stop testing and start work on polishing

I wonder how the game behavior would be if testing with all factions at once, then.
