Hi all

I have recently reinstalled BGII after years of "fasting" and I have reinstalled tactics (my usual favourite - I don't know if I am gonna try IA as that really sounds like cheese). I have to disagree that the tactics opponents need to be beaten by cheese... but, as always, it comes down to what is cheese for you - some people consider using potions and scrolls cheese...

Improved Ilyich is very difficult if your party is not well rounded but I recently beated it with a group of 1R/C, 4 F (2Berserkers) and 1 thief... so having mages is not necessary - as with all components of tactics it always comes down to having the right strategy - it is exceedingly frustrating at the beginning but when you manage to find the right way to do it it gives you tremendous satisfaction... I am now having problems with the improved fire giants - it took me a while to understand that their script was conflicting with the script of sanchudooku thereby killing its wielder instantly...

and Improved Irenicus was insane... :-)
