Well, I made some Hero units and have them leveling up just fine.  Great work on that part guys.  However, you can kill your own units to level up.  Kind of funny :)

I think you should have left this in, seems like more of a feature than a bug.   ;D

I did wonder if I should wait and see what everyone else thought. In the end I decided it was obviously cheating, so I just 'fixed' it. If you can provide a compelling argument in favour of retaining it... I'll certainly listen.

I'm sure Archmages get a lot of use out of it, accidentally toasting their own Daemons.

Well, I say get rid of self leveling. It is dirty and cheating. Very few video games let you level up with killing yourself (Final Fantasy II [original II] had a very unique stat raising system which was so much faster to level up by attacking and casting spells on yourself. As a result, that leveling up system was well hated [as well as the fast that a weapon was no good unless the character was skilled in that type of weapon]).

And good question @kukac@... Who reported it?
