AlKim: I keep trying the Disciples games occasionally (III: Reincarnation this time) and I just fucking hate them. I want to get into them, but the ridiculously high degree of randomness in combat just puts me off over and over and over.
Jacob_1994: uh, if you know the right party combination and keep your first squad alive then the game will be easier for you for the first two games, don't know about the third
I know, and this is how I managed to get into the series enough to care still. The games are still really ruthless, though, and the first fight in Reincarnation first resulted in three out of my four party members dead. I reloaded and tried again without any change of tactics, and this time I didn't lose anybody. This was on Easy difficulty.
Is it possible to mod the game a little? I'm not looking for Pisseasy mode or anything, just for a fair fight.
EDIT: I just decided to download the game on my desktop (instead of laptop) and to read some basic guide in case I missed anything important, then give III one more go. Why do I keep doing this to myself?
