From what @Mr. D said.. ...I assumed that the "with you" refers to the unassigned characters only, as opposed to those stationed in any base. Otherwise, many aspects of the game would sound pointless, especially the enormous scale of the available classes and items. One would assume a necessity to widely experiment with different character configuration, to test them every now and then, to have like an offensive team and defensive team at various moments, to dwell on training policy (should I have one maxed out team, or several less trained teams - since we cannot train all at the same time). If the total limit of characters is indeed 3, noone would experiment, since the cost of lost exp would be enormous. At most, people will search for a preferred set a bit longer at the beginning, but once you have a month or more invested exp-wise, you'd feel quite locked with the crew you have and not interested with collecting them anymore. And late in the game, once you find that few-per-world "Unique" character, you would have a really tough nut to crack, to waste any of those two-year-fed characters to risk picking that single gold one and start from scratch? Would it ever get better than a two year older character of an "ordinary" type? @Mr. D So, is it a bug or is it a feature?

@Mr. D While the update is awesome (even though I still have to find my first character), it makes one existing issue even more pronounced, namely: the long full refresh that most actions trigger. I believe the choice of actions that do trigger this full refresh needs to be heavily revised. One of the most irritating moments, that sincerely made me play a lot less, are all the military actions, like firing from towers or sending armies. I used to like to keep my lands free from FoT, but with the full refresh introduced in one of the updates and also the FoT spawn rates heavier than ever, I'd have to spend hours tidying up FoT from all my areas, not actually playing, but watching an empty, frozen screen. Now, with new objects introduced (and to be queried and rendered) the refresh time is even longer. And even picking these new items requires a full update... Why does it? Picking resources works fine without such updates. Why can't the attacked lands or picked up items cause single-object updates too?
