I've two weird things happen to me during combat in this version.
1) while in the middlle of a city siege against me, i got a message saying that some shrills were attacking another of my cities. I shudder to think what might have happened if i had controlled the battle but choosing auto battle let me finish the fight i was in. This message should have waited until my current battle was finished.
2) while looking at unit stats during fights, i looked at one my units while it was in the middle of its attack animation and then my next unit was selected. I still had my info card up. When i closed it i discovered that the unit who's card i was looking at (whose turn is now over) was still highlighted by the square, in addition to the unit whose turn it now was. So i had two nonresponsive highlighted units. autobattle managed to finish the fight, and then the game crashed one or two turns later.
