I LOVE this game when my skeletons are all surrounding something and just punching it until it falls down. Whenever I have to move my necromancer I am annoyed, since he refuses to move onto bodies. Maneuvering him next to a bunch of stacked up bodies is very much a bother. I would also have liked to see something like push scrolling with the mouse; generally simpler controls.
