I've only got a few hours of play in so far, and nothing major to report, but thought I'd mention a couple of things.

Minor Issue:

- Gate Dialog Screen (true for all special dialog?) closed too quickly, before I could read the whole thing. Why not leave it open until I click to close?

- Tutorial:  I had to restart it (seemed to hang around the Earth Elemental quest), and it was pretty short, even for an experienced Civ player.  I did really appreciate that you could skip or quickly exit the videos.

Nitpicks:
- Combat Icon (crossed swords) disappears when moving mouse
- [Spelling] Retire dialog: "Tireing" should be "tiring".

Question:
- Why don't champions, and even your leader, die when they lose a battle? 

The game looks good so far.  I just wish there was a manual...
