bandits lair's

Is it just me or are the Bandits Lairs too hard? Always reinforcements coming soon and about 50 bad guys appear. Previously you could hunt down Bandits in the surrounding areas until none appeared to be home in the Lair, then you had a fair fight to clear it, but now it just seems too hard, maybe I'm getting soft and need to harden up. Still playing 1310 hours so far...Cheers

Which Bandit Lair are you having trouble with?

[ZebBlake]

Marheim, Stromkapp, Cortia. Each of these has Enemy Reinforcements Approaching. No matter how many bandits i kill in the surrounding areas when I try to clear the Lairs the numbers of bandits are too powerful. Before the last upgrade if you cleared them from
outside the Lair then there were only the normal amount of bandits to remove from the Lair.
They just seem too many for my Level 7 team to handle. Cheers

You need to find and kill the Skull Bandits. Every region has a single unit in different places.

Ludern- Forest by Garussa.
Vertruse- Forest NW of the Jail Hill, head to the river.
Tildren - Forest East of Old Wilburts Fishery
Cortia - I forget...
EDIT: OK remembered from staring at the map. - Start by Sehra's Sheepfold near the entrance to Cortia. Head up the mountain. toward the Rat lair. The Skulls are in the trees.
Grimeer - Forest near the Bandit Lair

many thanks for your help. I have just been killing ordinary bandits and have ignored the skull ones because i thought they were just the same as the others. I will try harder (this is my 6th restart of the game. I have a level 12 team saved in Gosenberg but have solved all the puzzles i think. I have one problem that I put to the DEVS but have not heard back.

in Gosenberg with my level 12 team I have 6 runes that I keep researching in the camp, So far I have researched them 11 times each but nothing happens, usually when you research something you get a weapon or an object to sell but with this i just keep researching but get nothing from doing it.

Thanks again for the help...off to the forest to kill, kill, kill..Cheers
