My thoughts on a replay :

1) I would go in with 4 characters - seems a good balance between carrying things and the experience boost (greater share for kills) - also reduces maintenance cost of equipping / training.
2) I would aim to have all characters having most if not all spells (with the exception that it takes too much patience to drag valkyrie and zenmaster up in stone before getting back for the kill.
3) Would aim to have all characters at temple level 5 (Jathil quest) in time for Paladin quest so that they can get Crusade skill before Skull castle
4) Would transition all characters through warlock to take advantage of max 24 strength bonuses of amulets of holding - never waste money training in strength, sell any ankh's of strength, don't use any skill points in increasing strength.
5) Save money for DEX, AGI, INT, SPI, and magic training.

My roles would be :

1) Female Priest - solid healer of the party, promote till level 15 and train hard in vine and spirit magic so that all the best spells (particularly level 7's) are picked up - then switch to warlock for fiend and moon magic (and up strength) till level 3 or 4 - paladin (get crusade and sword) no more than that - samuraii (sun magic). Stay samuraii till level 10 or 12 (just focus on level 6 and 7 spells when available) - then ninja. Stay with Ninja (up moon and fiend) for many levels until Valkyrie becomes available (stone).

2) Priest - convert ASAP to barbarian (learn lockpick and pickpocket) for 2-3 levels - convert to ranger and advance (and train) in vine magic till level 6 (pick up Cure), switch to samuraii for 7-9 levels (firestorm), warlock (again quickly 3-4 levels, make spell books available, and up strength) - then Paladin for crusade, and max out in spirit. Advance as best you are able in moon and fiend until zenmaster (stone) comes along.

3) Wizard - this guy stays a wizard for 15-18 levels - trains in staff, sun, and stone - needs all level 7's before moving class - then warlock (again quickly - 2-3 levels and up strength) - ranger till collect level 6 spells - paladin (crusade and level 7 spells and sword) - then assassin - final class - learn dagger and up all magics where possible.

4) Wizard - 2-3 levels then warlock for about 18 levels - 1st priority is moon magic - learn teleport spells - can continue with training to learn all 4 magic levels to level 7. Then paladin, crusade, and till level 7 spells achieved, ranger (very briefly to learn vine), then finish (and age slowly) as ninja.

That is the way I am looking to shape my next party .
