1. It's basicly the same, but you have flank positions and another back row. Keep in mind that you can easily recruit fighter types but not casters and that 2 Bishops will easily learn everything. (+ Bard, Gadgie and 2 Fighter types?) You will need to consider this: the front line of 3 will almost always be able to use short weapons but others will need extended or ranged weapons (or need to wait that someone comes to them). You could leave the front empty and put 5 characters in flank and middle position able to use short weapons and still have 3 positions in the back row (but then the weak back row is more vulnerable).

2. Bard, Rogue and Ninja are the closest. It'll still have the exp, but will reach only level 4 as a Gadgie. But it's not a big deal, it will gain levels fast.

3. Says Flamestryke: "skills import at 1/5 the value achieved at the end of CODS", (although 13 and 16 aren't 1/5) so anything less than 100 in W7 skills will lower your stats.

4. Actually a Rogue will always do double damage and can be (has been) better. A Fighter needs to berserk and will at first miss much. But still a Fighter is very good at dealing damage. A Lord is considered much weakened from earlier games.

5. I have tested this: scouting skill stops working. You could use Detect Secret - but as I noticed playing Dodd's mod, it can easily be forgotten at a wrong moment.

6. I don't have a fixed opinion about Faeries. You can well do without one. And spell regen isn't so important, since you can usually rest if you like. And still, you may well consider a Faerie spellcaster.

(PS. I have expressed this somewhere else: After the frustration of not getting my hints for W7 published about 15 years ago I'm only glad there is a forum where I can be of help.)
