Hi.

I started a game yesterday. I couldn't resist : expert difficulty

. I was very surprised. My party was lvl 3 and I met 5 Brigands, 1 Mageguard and 5 Rogue Leader in the Lower Monastery. Fortunatly I could escape.

But I managed it into the upper level to the phoonzang statue without a dead character. Then I met those mercenary groups. Killed all except one. This guy hat only 24 HP left so I decided to run up to him. That was a fault. He summoned four undead, like millipedes looking creatures. My lvl 8 party was destroyed because those undeads had a very high resistance against magic and no spells worked good enough.

I ignored mythology in all W8 games up to now but for Deathstalkers it's important IMO. My destroyed party :

Ranger, Lord, Alchemist, Mage, Gadgeteer, Bard.

I found out too, that those hirable NPC's had new professions. Myles was Gadgeteer. That makes the game more interesting, because I don't need to create a gadgy of my own and hire Myles early to stay in my party.

Greetings
