Only problem is once you've done the Slave Assault mission and the Rat Trap another seemingly broken cutscene hangs the game again.

I actually finished the game using that route (ages ago). I didn't find missing out on experience too important, as long as my amber wizard was getting enough to learn flock of death. I did play the full game version (still have the disk somewhere).

The only bug I've found was that after a few missions in Zhufbar my captain of the crossbowmen unit would disappear - he'll get 0's for all his stats. After that at the beginning of every mission I would start with full unit of crossbowmen (at deployment phase), but as soon as I would start the mission/battle, one of them would just die. I had to stop deploying them until I was able to recruit reniforcments. Annoying, but not as much as the game crashing.
