Lucky Day

Title says it all. I'd call it official but I'm not an editor. Lot's of talk about it in the news threads so I thought we needed something semi-permanent.
Dhruiny calls this game a gem, Mags calls it a strategy/rpg hybrid. I call it King's Crack.
Question: JDR, how are you liking the game? I was going to recommend you not get it if you didn't care for the demo but now that you have the whole thing are you of my opinion yet?
Critics are falling all over themselves about strategy with combat but personally I think it was implemented in HoMM better. I'm playing a mage and though I have dozens of spells now, I find the best thing is to constantly throw fireballs at my enemies.
The English version is still not patched and I have not got the Russian patch to work, though others claim they have.
There are some minor bugs I'm running into such as Furious Paladin being totally borked after fulfilling his quest. I hear there's a bug with Mirabella if you try to marry her after a divorce but there's a fan patch for it.
Also the feat to fire multiple spells in the same round (cost me 35 gems!) often works spotty.
Other than the last one bugs are minor and the game is amazingly addictive. I'm shocked that it works as well as it does. Levelling is tight and the skill level you can obtain is well balanced. I just wish there were a multiplayer option.
