v1.2 is now live!

Beasts and Followers can now get XP! Or most of them can, anyway. Each creature has its own XP penalty. Some examples - Goblins and Cockroaches still have a 100% penalty. Orcs have a 75% penalty.

changedBeasts and Followers can now get XP! Or most of them can, anyway. Each creature has its own XP penalty. Some examples - Goblins and Cockroaches still have a 100% penalty. Orcs have a 75% penalty. Raiders and dwarfs have a 50% penalty. All characters that could take a class (Dwarf King, Elf mage, etc) still have a 0% penalty. Each creature has its own career path (e.g orcs will be warriors) and beasts have a new career path with no specialisation allowing them to take some skills too. Bear in mind - XP is shared amongst all participants at the end of a combat. Previously followers would be ignored. I've made some adjustments to deal with this, but...
addedMaking the world map more interesting, graphically - I have: Added different coloured patches of grass. Made mountains variable in size. I dialled this one back a bit, as I wasn't impressed with some of the other things I did. I may well return to this one in future - let me know any ideas you have.
addedAdded Armoured Trolls and Minotaurs! You will occasionally see these fearsome beasts in some encounters, and you can pay a mystic to get your own upgraded with suitable armour, all for a very reasonable price.
addedNew (very high tier) weapons! You will occasionally see enemy heroes wandering around with them too. Or can buy/loot them at appropriate places. Araby (dagger and halberd) Dwarfs( axe and shield) Elves (spear and bow)
addedYou can now pay for healing at a few places...
addedJournal added to show any outstanding quests...

I couldn't recreate the bug re flying high and fleeing, but I re-wrote things to hopefully deal with this better. Let me know if this bug is still around.
