I have to chime in and say that EA Classic felt much better than current tactician. You felt that the enemy was the exact strength as you but they often outnumbered you. So you had to play well to overcome them.
Now tactician is basically fighting the above but they are faster and have 50% more HP/Armor. The fights were already often uphill battles like Niles, but now it's just basically suicide mode rather than tactician mode.
