Mr. Blonde

Ok, Im now level 8 and am really searching for a challenge (:. With my army of 3 archers, i mow down almost anyone that gets in the way with tactics. Ive found that since i have 3 archers all shooting, i can confuse the enemy by splitting into 3 groups. 1 archer goes left, the other right, the last center. That separates the enemy both melee and ranged and i pick them off much easier. Can anyone recommend a challenging area with enemies that dont die in 1 to 2 shots? Im trying to reach 12 before i start doing quests.

Guys, im doing well with my 3 archers. I currently have one handling traps with fast on feet, one with first aid with EWarrior, and one with potion making that occasionally goes in melee/assassin. Im thinking that i will eventually have them all specialized a bit into first aid to help not having a cleric. Avernum 3 is a load of fun and i cant even believe its related to the first 2 games. Last time i played avernum 1 and 2, my chance to hit first goblins was 45-55% with a 60-75% chance for them to hit me. I could barely hit a thing with melee and ranged. With this game its almost reversed. Im actually hitting them and they have a slightly less chance to hit me. Avernum 3 rocks!

I just back into the rpg market after some time and want to try a good "old school" rpg that i can enjoy and not rip my hair out in the process ): I tried both avernum 1 and 2 years ago and couldnt even enjoy anything. It was absurdly hard and I couldnt even hit anything, nor survive. Before completely labeling this series as trash, I never actually played avernum3. Is avernum 3 any different than the other 2, because I dont want to condemn the entire series because of the unplayability of the previous. If its not worth it, I might just move on to the 2nd trilogy. Like i said, im not asking for everything, i just want an old school game that i can enjoy. And playing on normal with 3 archers shooting 5 missing arrows at the same target, is far from normal.
