Campaign Oddities-Feel free to add to this post the strange, the typos, the broken.

Just a few notes from version 1.00.  If it gets fixed, someone please note the version number.

Minor spoilers: 

The Text in the Campaign log at the end of the Procipine Chapter says you get a lightning storm spell and a storm giant spell.  I only ever get the Lightning storm spell.

People seem to have problems with the barricade after the Darking line.  I suggest you move ONTO the barrier to trigger the passage.

The Waterlogged Map in the next chapter can be used and will disappear from your inventory.  This might be bad for quest completion somewhere.  AS I found this out after showing Kraxus's treachery, I can't say there is a problem.

When you get your first archers, they are described in the Hiergamon as Archers you get to clear OGRES from the swamp.  Should read trolls. 

One of the pop-ups suggest that you go back to base to refit your troops with new gear.  Great.  I get the idea of how to buy new stuff for my champions.  However, is there anyway to upgrade your troops and make them more durable/ hit harder?  I could disband the troops, lose the experience they gained, and create new troops but, it seems like such a waste.

Anything else?

I have a game right now where I can't move anything or go to the next turn.  It's not long after finding the obsidian wall.  I decided the way to get by is take my army to the other side by sea.  Every time I try this it stops working.  I have gone back to previous saves and it does the same thing near this point.

Edit: I just rebooted and went back one more save and it did the same thing.

The game prevents turns soon after the crystal mine is built.

 

Gives new meaning to "just one more turn"!

While sandbox mode seems to work fine, I get major problems in the campaign after  moving past the first barrier.  Moving in the swampy area is very buggy for me.  I was getting the rubber band effect, moving 3 steps forward, and two steps backwards, like in an online game (MMO) when you lag out.  Also a few times I would click a few squares ahead while my army would happily run off in the complete opposite direction with no visible obstacle (swampy square) in the way.  After muddling my way to the last set of trolls I gave up and started a sandbox game.  This seems to work well so far, except for a few CTD's.  Have not tried to play again since last nights patch, been playing sandbox mode. 

 

Enjoying sandbox very much, campaign is meh

I can't get past the blockade in the campaign, and this has been reported by others in various threads.
