i agree , we should have more life in the stronghold, more militia as anyway we end up filthy rich, and more peasants, servants, chanters, ect... , regarding on prestige and security. about my visitors problem, anyone to kindly tell me where i can find them ?

well the spell / rest system seems just fine to me. you have to save your spells and/or your camping kits to avoid going back to the surface every two encounters when you are in the depths of the infinite paths... and also make a decision to continue or not when your party members start to be low on life , short on spells.... you have also the choice to buy items to get bonus spells , or other kind of boost. all these choice matters, especially if you play ironman mode. on a roleplay side , i dont want my characters to unleash infinite magic power like semi gods or something.

hi there, stronghold to me is a good roleplay element , i love to have my own castle, rebuild it , defend it myself even if i must stop what im doing, have prisoners, ect.... it would be great if a complete stronghold could alow you to start a faction, with allies and enemies same as your personal reputation, and events going with it. would able to create an heraldic , choose the name , and so on. being called " Lord of Caed Nua " in game ^^ regarding the taxes, it makes me good incomes , somewhere between 400-800 benefit each time. one thing puzzling me , i still didnt find where are the visitors ... the only one i saw was a drunk man in the donjon , all the others i didnt managed to find em....

Hi Eronaile, i had the same problem , being stuck at loosing every major fights at lvl 4 . as the others suggested , i went to a big city and runned side quests to reach lvl 5 , big difference. i also started to kite enemies. the ogre queen i did kit her untill her minions left and only her was remaining on the battlefield. to achieve this i had to bring her on the other side of the bridge. in oder to kite i use the rogue or the ranger's pet. of course your ranged characters can shoot the foe during the process and you can set traps in advance on the path you plan to kite the foe consider kiting as a true combat phase, with slow time and pause abuse... send the rogue scouting , agrro one or two foes at once, kite them to your group, kill them, repeat. you will see some monsters going back at some point , shoot them for re-agrro. the other key point is the crowd control. wizard spell Slicken is a must have. edit : i play on normal , started infinite paths lvl 4 , now 5, figthter ( tank ) priest (me ) , priest ( durance ), wizard , rogue, ranger . i've reached infinite path 6th floor without major problems, some sweating time to time ^^

hi everybody, i would like to open a topic about opening moves. please forgive my bad english i always play with two healers in d&d likes, in my actual game ( and first PoE one ) , its two clerics. my strategy is to kill as fast as possible one oponent, focusing on the healer if there is one. if not i focus on the weakest foe at range. my group is lvl 5 and im in act 2. this example is about figthing a humanoid small group, i'd say 5 to 8 foes. i settle my party in a place easy to defend, like a door , a corner, a bridge, ect... ____tank_____ranger pet_______ __________rogue_______________ ___cleric1______cleric2_______ ___ ranger_______wizard_______ first i try to kit the enemies with the ranger's pet , so i can shoot them while they run, trying to alpha one enemy. this is also giving me time for consecrated ground and armor of faith. before contact tank ( defender ) : arquebuse healer/weakest oponent cleric 1 : consecrated ground cleric 2 : armor of faith wizard : slicken vs ranged casters rogue : bow vs healer/weakest oponent ranger : bow vs healer/weakest oponent ranger pet : nothing/kiting on contact tank : knock down vs 1st melee oponent cleric 1 : holy radiance cleric 2 : lvl 2 offensive spell vs healer/weakest oponent wizard : lvl 2 offensive spell vs healer/weakest oponent rogue : bow vs healer/weakest oponent ranger : bow vs healer/weakest oponent ranger pet : melee avoiding tank at this point the focused foe should be dead. the rest of the fight depends on situations, id rather crowd control the casters/ranged enemies with wizard slicken and focus the dps on a single melee target at the time. if a foe breaks the agro and goes in the middle of my group, i switch focus on him immediatly. comments welcome, please share your opening strategy !

same here, randomly, like twice in 10 mn or every two days, suddenly the fans go full speed , and 5 mn later the computer shuts down. im playing on a laptop assus rog i7, 8 go ram, nvidia geforce gtx 770m, 8.1. the odd thing is that this appeared only after like 20-25 hours of playing. more or less end of act 1 / debut of act 2 , dunno if its related.
