I really like Thunderstone. I think the theme is cool, and the game has a lot of potential. That being said, those that have played it have commented on its rough edges and a few confusing and contradictory rules.

Another new, revised rule set (v1.4), is available on the AEG site and BGG. I haven't read them yet, just glanced through them, but they appear to be addressing those little rule problems. For instance, there was the issue of why does the battle effect for destroying a hero or weapon happen after the battle, but the battle effect for destroying food is duirng the battle? Glancing through the rules, it looks like the clarification is that all battle effects that destroy something, consistently happen after the battle. In fact, this newest set of revised rules adds 8 additional pages of rules clarifications, pictures, and examples. Hopefully these new rules will improve this diamond in the rough.

Yep. Read the rules and there are significant changes. All for the better I believe. Some of them provide consistency and fairness, but some appear to provide better balance.
