The more scenarios they survive, the better they get, and you also get to see a nice graphic check mark showing how many campaigns they've been through. Again, although the rest of the game left much to be desired, I enjoyed my war party, and liked keeping them alive and watching them grow. Handling units is at times frustrating due to a couple of bugs still left in the game. One major bug occurs after loading a scenario. This occurred for me when I loaded a saved game or when I restarted, and manifested itself in the inability to move the war party.
Movement is done with the cursor.
However, the cursor failed to make an X and the party refused to move. This happened on several occasions and the only cure was to attempt to reload the scenario until the problem went away. Additionally, I didn't realize at first that units could be selected in the screen on the interface. This also intermittently failed to function, causing me some grief in the beginning. You can, however, select a specific unit in this display screen and give it orders or heal it.
