Im noticing that the new upgraded Ai and spell abilities of mages and archers isnt that terrible really.
Archers just shoot two or three basic type of arrows, - worst being the poisonous cloud.
Mages just use two or three most basic spells. Blitz bolt being the worst offensive one they can throw.
None of the early ones in the west and in the Burial Mounds area use any sort of environment spells, like firefly, or even a flare, no teleports, ... (ok, that is the starting area... )
- but they are level five enemies most of the time.
Which then would be a good set of features for the actual Harder difficulty.

(im still hoping the more advanced enemies and mages would perform better than that but i haven't gotten that far yet in this newest build)
