To Dundee: yep, the section 12 in your tips. Works wonders!

To Russ: I have and do use the regular ones as well. As I said, I am not really into the magic, I am always a person who drives the plate gauntlet in the scared face of the enemy. So from my spell selection, if I would show it, some sorcerers/spellcasters here on these boards would tear out their hair and running out of the room, screaming "How can anyone survive with such a spell selection!!" Well I do. Mainly I have (from wizard spells) only 1-3 offensive spells, if even that, main spells are all for removing the nasty buffs from the enemies. From clerical/druidic spells, main is healing/buffing with the debuffing removal spells (like True Sight). And I don't need anything else. Why the heck do I need any bigger spells, when my melee people will chop the target into sushi as soon as they can touch it? Casters pelt sling bullets into the mobs anyway, all of them. Generally I have 2-3 tanks and rest use slings/bow. Always works. Granted sometimes I want some additional "punch" and I use Yoshi to set up the traps. My advantage is that I have played thru the game already, so all in all I know what spawns where, how and how it attacks. And so I have used Yoshi's traps succesfully many times and it is very cool But that is also all the "planning" I do as such. In rest of the cases, I use Dundee's Tactical Step # 12. Works for me!

Tere!

Yes, that works. Something like that is what I did with my first party. With the archer I was using (that got screwed up, I actually had to do a reinstall, yuck), I never really wanted the enemy to get close, so we used 2-3 simultaneous fireballs... not a real subtle tactic, but effective on most critters nonetheless.

Well.. Did you wrote it by accident or do you really know what it means? I mean it's existing word in local (my) language, used to greet somebody. It's basically the same as "Hi" or "Hello" (and so on), a greeting [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you didn't know, well then, now you do Don't try to pronounce it however in english, it will sound creepy heheh.. Pronouncing the local language has absolutely nothing in common to english, more like Skandinavian/Middle Europe.

Off topic:


OK, I'll take it then that you know what you are writing, same to you, although I am sure it's not yet 'õhtu' where you are Here it is though yes.

You're first person I see at all on the Net and not from here who has said the words in my language over many many years [img]smile.gif[/img] Where do you know or take them? Net? Some dictionary? Someone? Or yourself know them? [img]smile.gif[/img]

OT:

My friend Anu Mänd, who was in Budapest with me, but is now, afaik, living in a new apartment in Tallinn. I used to speak okay survival Estonian, but I've forgotten almost all of it in the past three years, as I had nobody to talk to.

You'd be surprised at some of the vocabulary similarities between Estonian and Hungarian, btw... lots of the very basic words are quite close.
