Nebari (Guest) (0 posts) Mar-02-03, 12:29 PM (Pacific) "Game Difficulty" I am playing my second time through with the game on Iron Man and Expert level. Does anyone know what changes between the levels? I noticed like in Wiz 7 you get additional monsters (ie. 7 vs. 9 Juggernauts, normal vs. expert) but the monsters seem alot tougher than before. In the first game I seem to remember I could Freeze Flesh and paralyze about half of the Juggernauts. That does not work now. I am lucky to get 1 paralyzed. Any comments? Thanks David   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Lamoni (16 posts) Mar-03-03, 11:46 AM (Pacific) 2. "RE: Game Difficulty" The manual explains the difference pretty well. I don't have it with me, but it basically says that the difficulty setting affects how likely you are to hit enemies and how likely they are to hit you. I believe that would also be true of spells. easy means you are more likely to hit them, and they are less likely to hit you. Expert would make it very difficult to hit them and easy for them to hit you. It is amazing how many answers are in the manual, but it seems very few people read it.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Nebari (Guest) (0 posts) Mar-05-03, 06:27 PM (Pacific) 3. "RE: Game Difficulty" The manual gives little detail. I am curious about any ideas on HOW it makes it them harder to hit, suggestions on altered strategies, and other factors that may change. For instance, I have been using Guardian Angel and running when I almost never did that on Normal level. It took me several tries to get away from the Juggernauts before I thought of lowering the difficulty. Instead of chasing me from almost to the cemetary all the way back to Arnika (expert), they gave up in a couple rounds (on novice). To me, that implies something a little more intricate than, "the difficulty setting affects how likely you are to hit enemies and how likely they are to hit you"   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
