:Whether To Attack With Magic

youll find that wizards and enchantresses are extremely weak, no matter their stats, really. dont attack with magic until late game, really

==

:Whether To Attack With 1H Swords

its an excellent idea, the hero can attack with 1h swords because they get 2 extremely powerful upgrades later on, and you even get them as part of the story, really

==

:Whether To Put Named Generic Characters In Your Party

its an excellent idea, the named generic characters appear in the Warren Report, theyre as strong as any recruitable character is, really

==

:Whether To Purchase The Recruiting Skill And Recruit Hawkmen In Chapter 1

its an excellent idea, make the Hawkmen into Vartans once you get the Vartan classmark late game, really

those are things that matter after the beginning of the game, really
