* Although previous Shadow of Death campaign descriptions state that [[Crag Hack]], [[Gelu]], [[Gem]], and [[Yog]] advance to the next campaign (i.e. Unholy Alliance) with their primary skills, secondary skills and spells, it is not true.

* If you play a scenario where Gem doesn't appear at start, don't hire her in a Tavern, otherwise you won't get Gem in a further scenario, unless you get rid of her by firing or deliberately losing a battle which won't make you lose the game as another hero should be invincible.
* When you play for [[Sandro]] against your former heroes (Crag Hack, Gelu, Gem, Yog), they all appear with skills they obtained when you had played for them.
* After you have played for Sandro, he appears in final scenarios as your enemy with [[Armor of the Damned]], but without [[Cloak of the Undead King]].

Some may find the information in this section subjective or irrelevant.

While it's very hard for Yog to have both Wisdom and Earth Magic (see Talk page for more information), reload first scenarios of Crag Hack, Gelu, and Gem if they don't have good secondary skills, until they have really a good set of secondary skills (Wisdom and Earth Magic are a must, and at least three or four should be one of the following: other magic schools, Logistics, Offense, Armorer, Archery, Tactics, Intelligence, Sorcery).
