Whoever programmed to random "road" & "rest" encounters THANKS! TOEE gave me lacedons from 1st level to 13th, or trolls, dear God, I was bored of trolls. But here, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds! Or the 20 multi-species wolves, what a fight. And the mixed encounter types: goblins & wolves, kobolds and crayfish, or those giant groups of undead (not including the necromancer) make for more exciting fights. Although with the limited magic in the game the dozen shadows at 3rd level was a little unfair.
Yeah, I don't understand the random_encounter.py thing, I admit it. I just hack it, and so you may still get ogres etc at first level, which you shouldn't.
