Two groups of enemies fighting each other

[oldlamehand]

Hi,

I'm playing on PotD difficulty level. I have noticed, in some locations it can be very helpful if you lure two groups of enemies to fight each other . The fights are sometimes much easier with this strategy.  It usually works betwen hostile NPCs and beasts or animals, for example bandits and  forest trolls, spiders and looters. Do you also use this strategy to your advantage?

I have never seen this, but it sounds QUITE interesting and tactical.

Only if there are no other means as actual combat is fun. It is most likely feature as its hard to imagine it would escape testers. Without drawing poor parallels to the world as we know it, Sun Tzu would probably approve.

Sometimes it is really funny. It can save you some per encouter spells, potions, scrols and camping suplies. During such fight, I usuely face only few enemies and as soon as I deal with them, I start to attack both fighting parties from distance. When one party is wiped out, the other party is often very weakened and it is easy job to finish them.

I discovered this feature accidentally, but later I used it intentionally several times.
