Isn't it frustrating when levelling up (which to me is, perhaps, the biggest moments in the game)to know that next time you level up you will need twice as much experience than before? I have played wiz8 for a few weeks and I find the 2x/level a little drastic.

Some people talk about having smaller party in order to level up faster. This can't be much faster if the level system works as I think it does (ok im a beginner, might be very wrong on this)

A 3-party will obviously have twice as much exp. as a 6-party. This means that at a given stage in the game where a 6-party would be lvl 25, a 3-party would definitely be level 26, and a solo-character would be lvl 27 or 28.

Therefore I think that the fact that "smaller parties level up faster than bigger ones" is irrelevant in Wizardry 8, while in HOMM4 a 1-hero army will be level 20 where a 2-hero army would be level 12-13.

The slightly slower leveling of ninjas and bishops is also irrelevent because they will never be more than 1 level behind e.g. fighters and rogues.
