A Tip

[galic]

I don't know if this tip was already posted somewhere, but anyway I'll post it here. When you go into a battle you have to use a round, to cast your protection spells. This is what I do. Just before going into it, I click on the sword (bottom of the screen), that puts you into battle mode, now you can cast your protection spells, (one at the time)and click the check mark at the lower rigthand corner. I hope that this tip made your game easier.

I generally do that, getting the drop on them when they are sighted but not attacking yet. I also will restart a battle sometimes if they attack first, especially early in the game. I don't want to waste 10 or 20 minutes when I think they have won the battle. Other times, I weather through it, gritting my teeth, that the magic or strong attacks won't kill anyone before we have a chance to protect ourselves.
