As the title says some of the fights available in the demo are really easy to cheese if you do them a certain way, i don't know if this is intended and if it is i really like it. The 2 examples in the demo being the ambush and the ship burning fight. During the ship burning if you start by burning the ships rather then taking out the guards you can then just have Syneros or Julia run to the other ship and toss the fire, i recommend both because if Syneros dies then Julia can finish the job. Later when the ambush comes around you can do something similar by have Syneros run to Thermus and everyone else start the retreat, then have Syneros heal Thermus and have the two of them run back to the safe zone. Now i have only beat these fights on Caesar difficulty but i imagine the ship burning is no different, and the ambush can still be done the same way if you give you second fastest party member a bandage and have them go with syneros and then both heal Thermus, Thermus gets attacked on the way back but in all three of my playthroughs only he gets attacked because the positioning of the enemies puts them to far for an attack of opportunity on Syneros. I kinda hope the devs not only intended for some fights to be done in a more tactical exploitative way but i hope there are more fights like this in the game, if there is then it will make high mobility characters like the Medic subclass really powerful.

I only played Vikings but i defiantly like how hard the game was without being total bs. Like every fight felt like you could very well lose even when you were well prepared, if im playing something like Pillars of Eternity or Pathfinder WOTR, when you enter a fight you can basically always win by blowing through your spells/abilities, you wont be prepared for the next fight but you could pretty much always win a non boss fight. But in Rome and Vikings because your abilities comeback after every fight you never feel compelled to save anything and you can play to your full tactical advantage each fight, this is the same reason i love the divinity series combat style so much.

So i had two questions about the in game romances, firstly i saw people mentioning that Cleopatra would be romanceable, is this true because i have seen no mention of this elsewhere. Also i saw something that said that the companions excluding Syneros would all be romanceable but that 2 would be locked to female characters and 2 would be locked to male characters, if this is true will they make it like something where each gender has a straight and a gay option kinda like cyberpunk 2077 did or what, Thanks for any answers.
