Some usefull hints:1) Know your opponents!
You are very much advised to know the strenghts and
weaknesses of every monster in the game!
Remember which spells are not at all working and which do a
great damage from monster to monster. You will save time and
lives!
2) Decide your attacks wisely!
Bear in mind who will act in the battle as first and who
after him. When you fight more groups try to kill one with a
spell, blind the second and poison the third for example! Try
to limit your losses and quickly end the fight. Do not ever
save some spell points for later rounds - it will cost you!
3) Carefully select the spells going up a level!
When you go up a level decide wisely which spell are you
going to need most in next period of playing. Never choose
slow, haste, stamina, charm, bless and similar spells. Try to
take the most powerfull and needed ones.
MAGE - first take magic missile, than fireball and iceball.
Try to have heal wounds for everybody elligible to learn it!
Cure lesser conditions also good for beginners! Especially
to heal blinded characters.
4) Always valid rule:
Act powerfully against weak monsters, be clever against
strong ones. Battling against weak characters with just a
handfull of HPs and spellcasting ability always try to use a
powerfull spell to kill them outright (DK FOREST MUNKS). From
time to time it is better to silence them if you cannot kill
them with single spell.
Battling against strong characters without spells and tons of
HP - be clever! Blind them and then kill them without fear of
death (FOREST GIANTS). And of course HIDE whenever possible.
Nothing in the game is better than to HIDE in the shadows.
5) Do not be furious when they kill you. Your characters are
weaklings, really. You are really strong after level 50
believe me! If you are not fighting using mind you wont
succeed in this game.
Some examples of mind using in the battle:
Use your fastest character to spell against spellcaster monsters or spectral monsters before they will kill you or blink out!
Don't use fire and ice against gorns. Couple of magic missiles lvl 7 will do better work.
Don't spell against weakly attacking monsters like Umpani ruffians. They wont harm you and you can train your arm skills instead.
Use you arm fighters against already weakened groups of monsters. Your spellcaster should attack another group in the next round and they will kill the first one meantime.
When a small group is on the first or second row in a fight let it be there. It will block the far away groups from attacking. Works perfectly with piranhas which cannot advance during a battle.
Train ninjutsu a lot. It will take hours and hours till you have 100 points. And you really need to be 100 percent.
Train legerdemain by stealing bacause you need money. Best places to steal are: New City - Magic Emporium or Munkharama - Apothecary.
