Probably gonna play it some more tonight, see how far I can get. Didn't realize at first, that the mage's fire spell also damaged my own, and ended up killing them myself.

I think I managed to win the game despite I havent seen a win message. The classes are amazing and their skills, the enemies skills too, make a pretty good point in the strategy of the game.
