It took a lot of saving game whenever I'd beaten a group of bandits and even more loading of savegames when I didn't beat the next group. It's not an experience I intend to repeat!
More serious is the problem in which I tried to board a ship which should have been my inferior in all regards, with "Melee" skill 4 (boosted to 5 by an item, probably a ruby), a good sword and good armour, and still kept getting killed on the first deck. It should have been a walkover; in fact it was suicide. I'm doing better with boarding now I've got "Melee" skill up to 10 (by continuing a game under the 5th November install, I gave up on the 19th November one).
Please put enemies and levelling back the way they were. The game was fun at that time.
