    First off, is there a reason why my messages are being deleted off this forum?

    2nd. Is there a way to change combat. so each character or enemy takes a turn. I'm having problems controlling my team members in combat all at once.

    Give me some Tips!

    Thanks

    There are two ways to ease up party control during combat; The first one is just to hit space and place orders, whenever situation gets critical for a charcter, use the pause function again and eg retreat wounded party members; If you like to play hardcore turn-by turn, just activate (in the options menue) all auto-pause functions. hth :)

    I prefer auto-pause on 5 occasions:

    - enemy sighted
    - trap detected

    are indeed the 2 out of combat ones

    in combat I like:

    - target gone (lets just say in most cases I don't agree with the next target the AI would pick ;) )
    - spell cast (either I need to select the next spell, or reposition and retarget the spellcaster's attacks. Another thing the AI handles poorly)
    - character badly wounded

    That and the space bar make combat as close to my beloved turn-based gold box games as it gets :D
