Quote:"Grand Battle" is the extra difficulty patch so no, thats the one you want to avoid for now. The patch you want is labeled v7 , the full filename being "BGE D1 & D2 Translation v7.zip." The "Grand Battle" patch can be applied to either clean or patched images.
Actually I was looking to play Grand Battle for some added difficulty, and was hoping to offer insightful feedback and some potential tweaks. Does it still need a lot of balancing that you recommend I avoid it, or did you just misinterpret my question?
