This mode creates for each new unit ultimate weapon which is with 1 strike but damage multiplied by strikes number and bonus to damage 5 for 0 and 1 lvls and for higher lvls higher damage amount. New ultimate weapons has hasty strike weapon special which decrease chance to hit by 10%.

I have an idea to improve immersion: Hide the healthbar/xpbar/dot of all units as any of them engages in combat or as you engage in dialogue. (I basically want to hide UI when not needed so that we call all better appreciate the art).

It could also add slightly to the excitement to not find out...
