Ok so I am enjoying this wonderful game. I installed "Tactics" for the challenge and "The Darkest Day" for the kits. Major problem.... I don't know if this is by design or if it is the two mods working together in an extreme way.

Relatively early on (party of 3, all around lvl 13-14) and I take the dwarf berzerker into my party and go for the book of Kaza...

Ok and it is insane. Somethings called "Shadows" keep popping into existence and they have several varieties: timestopping mages + greater wolfweres + giant earth elementals + Iron Golems... and the "shadow lord" (beholder). Ok it is one thing to provide a challenge - I like that. But there is this weird thing in that the shadows duplicate and duplicate until there are dozens... wall to wall. Think 3 level 13 charachers vs 40 "shadows" which look like iron golems + timestopping mages and that is approximately the kind of fights that are occurring.

I'm wondering if maybe one mod, "Tactics" for example, had decided to make a challenge where shadows (normal ones) would summon more shadows... while "The Darkest Day" decided to increase the game challenge by turning the normal shadows into various foes: mages, wolfweres, elementals, iron golems... and the two changes together are creating this abomination.

Can anyone shed any light on this? Essentially I can't play the game if it is going to continue to be like this.
