I'm very confused by the presence of low-end shields with a *negative* modifier to blocking. Why would I want an item to lowers blocking? Is there some other benefit to a shield, like damage reduction, that makes it worth it? Or is there some other more complicated calculation effect?...

Just finished a Nightmare game, and I noticed that the Mitorah team was fielding an elf with an impossibly high strength value around 150. He was basically one-shotting casters with his bow. Is this some odd bug, or does the Mitorah team get some kind of secret training advantage to make sure it's worthy of the name? Also, it surprised me he could do that much damage with a bow, since I thought strength only affected melee. Am I wrong about that?...

- Is there a way to set units to always auto pass/defend after attacking? - How many units can you have and still be considered a small clan, for the small clan cup? It's at least 4 it appears.

I've been cruising along so far until I got to the 3rd division, in which I'm getting pretty monstrously wrecked. The main problem here is that I've pretty much neglected upgrading my Helms for my melee fighters. Each fight so far has gone the same way. Enemy fighter attacks my head -> I die in one hit. Even though they have a 10-20% chance to hit, there's always more of them than there are of me, and unless I can kill an enemy gladiator every 1-2 turns, I'll lose in the long run. So, don't neglect to buy...

As soon as I launch the game it crashes on me. I'm running on Win10. Tried verifying my cache and then installing it again but neither solution worked. Just says that the .exe has stopped working.
