This is a minor patch I'm only posting because it explains those new game options. It says enemy level limit goes up as story progresses.
Mostly did the Navigation messages aka tooltips at the top, so those probably help a lot. Bunch of the tutorial, items, formations, was working on buildings at the moment. Will probably have more done after long weekend.
Still haven't actually played the game beyond taking the fort and the woods. I also haven't heard anything from the decompiler author about updating it so a bunch of stuff can't be done, including the entire story (along with the questions in it). Amusingly the sex scenes work fine.
