This thread is mostly the same 2 people constantly whining about the increased enemy stats because they are refusing to change how they play the game. They refuse to admit there are plenty of tactics that work; when they didn't come up with it it's 'cheese' and when they did come up with it but it didn't work the game is to blame. I'll repeat: if you want a mode where the first thing you try makes you win no matter what, choose explorer mode. And let everyone else just enjoy tactician mode the way it's intended: making you change your tactics.
