I always had problems with the Guarded Compund as I tended to visit it early in the game. Just for kicks though as I seldomly use Katanas. Now recently I revisited with my evil Assassin (he'll use CF
) &party (+Viconia,Edwin,Korgan) and took the guys without a reload.
One Chain Lighntning and Domination on one of their tanks. Korgan killed the thief within one or two rounds and the rest was a ranged fight with Tugian and Edwin+Viconia's spellbooks.
However I won't nag and demand a tougher fight that take 24 reloads to finish. I like it if I can win with a common amount of luck and don't have to reload until that Finger of Death bypasses my enemy's MR.
