I've been playing tactian mode and it is pia but so far i've manged to make a little progress. However reading this thread I wish i could downgrade it one notch. I'm also tired of the ai cheating. What I mean by cheating is the ai seems able to shoot through towers and over towers that I can't. I just can't figure out what option allows it to cast spells and shoot arrows over towers that block my characters. Also the Ai seem to have further range for spell or bows (i wonder if stats somehow increase range).
