The melee damage modifier does not affect tail attacks. If it did, a Shnuy with maximum strength would deal around 600 damage.

In any case, I don't think a single shield-bearer can hold off a group of melee units for long.

Raphael and Ignatius held out for several rounds, and they didn't have any ranged support. And your character will be stronger.

They provide their own fire support. That guy almost killed me on the arena with one or two hits.

You had a bad shield.

You can intuitively gauge the strength of your opponents.
Those James encountered after defeating the curly-haired guy are just ordinary thugs. Their leader had normal strength and stamina (18 stamina, and I don't remember the exact strength, but it was below 20), and the rest of their stats were below ten. They had tier 3 two-handed weapons, and that's about it. The churchgoers weren't very strong either, because who are they? Just ordinary people, without any special skills. The guys with shields and two-handed weapons could only do a few things. The monks can use creation magic, but other than that, they don't have anything else, because that's not part of their specialty.
But, for example, Tartarus Ghostdrain (a dark knight), whom I previously called the "strongest man in Erathia," is obviously quite strong.)))

As for the arena fighters, they were generated using the same number of attribute and skill points that were given to the players. This is fair in terms of combat, and it also makes sense from a narrative perspective, as they are also "travelers."
However, there may be weaker or stronger enemies in the royal tournament.

And looking to the future, if you encounter any orcs, they will definitely be stronger than the thug-like churchgoers.

I determine the strength of NPCs not by who they are, but by how many players are in the party, how strong they are, and so on.

My opinion is that even the strongest hero in Erathia should be defeatable with the right actions and the combined forces of player-controlled units (not NPCs). Not in a one-on-one fight, of course, but by gathering a decent party with relics (STATUELETS), some other artifacts, and winning a tough battle. However, that's not the main point.

So, nobody wants to go to the island, right?

Toot-toot-roo! Yes, let's go to hell.

And how long does it take – in game time – to get to the island on the expedition? Maybe I’ll go for a swim…

Well, I guess I won't swim to the island alone as a Goblin. I can stay with a Heroes player for company if he's not going with the caravan. Or go south with everyone else.

I definitely won't go south. I might go to an island, though. Even if pirates kill me, I can create a Warlock with a squad of NPCs and raid your caravan.

GAMEMASTAH REVAN: Hey, heroes. You wanna come to the ERTHENIA and join the expedition?
Heroes: No.
GAMEMASTAH REVAN: I'll give you a tons of stats and knowledge.
Heroes: Okay.
JI LINH (commenting): Yep. That's my backstory.

It takes about a month of game time to reach the island. I can stay too; we can hang out in the city for a while, and then sail over. Maybe Ar will die by then and create some non-human creature, which would be perfect.

And how long will the expedition to the island take, approximately in game time? Maybe I'll go for a swim...

When a team is assembled, but no later than in a month or two. The journey south will take longer.

Even if pirates kill you, you can create a marauder with a squad of NPCs and raid your caravan.

Good idea.
