It’s been like 50+ days since I was having to restart because I actually would have lost a battle, aside from the one time some army regulars found me at the end of my raiding party during the noble war segment. I just can’t stand losing some level 9 dude who has been with me for months to a random pack of undead supported by a necromancer. But I also can’t beat said undead (fun to say) without taking a loss or two, because possessed undead are ferocious.
Or, to be more accurate, I can. But I’ll fight the battle 3 or 4 times to do it. And that’s not a good use of my dwindling time on this planet.
