Another Felix

Virion is quite a weakling for an archer indeed. if nothing else the only other pure archer in the game is a huge improvement

I understand why they removed perma-death from the game as an option, but considering the game is created and balanced around this core feature I think it lessens the experience very much to play without it.

If at all possible, you should restart the game and play on classic mode

Yeah, not going to do that on my first play through. I'm complete crap at strategy games.
