Enemy preview before starting a level / Autolock the targets
First of all, this is great feature: it allows us to plan our strategy for the whole round in advance :)
But i've got little question: are there plans to add the ability to view this list {which enemies will be on each wave} during the game? I mean, not just before the start of the round, but during the game too :)
To be honest, now I take a photo of my PC screen on my mobile phone so that I always have before my eyes a list of opponents that await me in future waves of EternalTrials :)

I noticed that after the last QoL patch we obtained a new useful little feature {especially for "Godly Curse" upgrade} : now i don't need to press "target lock" button every time, now the target lock automatically switches to another target when current target is defeated :) And i'm personally grateful for that little addition, because it was quite tiresome to press "lock the target" button each time the enemy is killed in the crowd when i use "Godly Curse" upgrade from CastleCenter level3 :)
Now only if i don't attack any enemies in my king's range for ~2-3 seconds, i have to press "lock target" again. And this feels absolutely fair :)
But since this change was not listed in the patch announcement, I'm worried it might be a bug :) ...
Tell me please, is this a bug and will this feature be removed, or is this what the developers intended? I hope it's the latter :)

Hi there NobleKnight!

Thank you for your contribution. It's nice to see you being so active in the community. =)

1) Very good point. I can imagine it's a bit cringe to take a picture of your PC screen to have a chance of remembering what enemies you're going to encounter. ^^' I'll bring that up with the devs!

2) Not a bug, that's an intended change, we did a woopsie if we forgot to include it in the patch notes. haha

Take care! =)

Although i also noticed today one a bit weird thing with this new "autolock" feature.
I played in EternalTrials on Frostsee map with the Sword weapon. I was on the left flank fighting with enemies with autolock the targets {i always buy "Godly Curse" upgrade}. When all the enemies on the left were killed {and autolock obviously disappeared from my screen}, i ran to the right flank. As I approached the enemies on the right flank, I saw far ahead of me that one of the enemies had already an auto-lock target mark on him. Thus, a target was locked not only not within the range of my weapon {Sword}, but not even on my screen.

Therefore, it is possible that the autolock mark does not disappear completely, but simply moves to a random enemy on the entire map {I just may not see it until I ride there}. I think it would be more logical to have the "autolock" switch between targets within the range of the king's weapon. But perhaps this is just my subjective opinion :)

Just confirmed that on Sturmklamm. I had a Spear, and when i got one second without any enemies nearby me {just killed those who spawned}, then my autolock immediately switched to some enemy unit in opposite side of my screen, far away from my reach but still visible to me. That enemy unit seemed to be "the closest to castle" and was attacked by my fire archers
