[qmuddy]

my 2nd attempt at this game is going great, i had gotten to the santo domingo defend quest in my first game, where i didn't know anything about this game, got frustrated, decided to start again , after researching this game, i'm almost back to where i was in my first game, i olnly lost one battle, in the tournement;

What are you doing differently?

Sadly I have lost energy for the game. Tired of getting attacked at night and then whenI go to fight them they run past me and I don't get Attacks of Opertunity like they do.

Hey Styxx42, you too can avoid attacks of opportunity by foregoing the unit's action and selecting 'Tactical Move'. It is located in the bottom left side of the screen while in combat, it is the button with the shield icon. But it limits the unit to standard movement (the distance allowed by the light green hexes).

Remember that the ennemy CAN use Tactical Move as well, which will allow them to circle around you without triggering any attack of opportunity. What's more, most fighters can only make such an attack once per turn (exception being one particular level-up ability, which name I can't remember right now).

To prevent being attacked at night, boost your soldiers' Guard skill, assign more people to guard, and do not make camp where Guarding is difficult, such as roads (check the Camp screen to know the difficulty).

Hope this helps ! :-)

By the end of the game, with about 6 soldiers/warriors (min level was man-at-arms) with all skill points in Guard, I had nearly 95% succes rate on Guarding rolls, even on roads or in plains, where it's the hardest.
