Am I getting too far ahead of myself?

So, I ventured into Verlon Forest with my Level 4 Paladin. I came across this Deserted Castle which was being guarded by some guy named Mark. He told me I had to retrieve something from the castle and bring it to him. So, I went in and was attacked by 3 stacks of Skeletons/Skelton Archers each containing 400-700 units.

How the hell am I supposed to beat this with my measly army so early in the game? I had like 20 Bowmen, 20 Priests, 30 Swordsmen, 4 Archmagi and 100 Peasants. I can't get anymore that that.

Come back later, obviously.

Well certain parts are just more difficult than others, too me quite some time before i could complete certain quests in Darion, and i was about level 10 by then. Still haven't completed one and i am already in the land of the dwarves.

I don't like doing battles unless they are some for of "weak". I am currently level 14 and I still havn't completely cleared the castle. Some of the "painting" battles are pretty nasty. I prefer to come back later and save money on troop replacements. If something is stronger than an even match I mark it on my minimap and move on, then come back to it later.

I had a similar problem when I first landed in the Freedom Islands. EVERYTHING was too strong for me. What do you do? You get back on the ship, go and clear out everything on Darion first. There are a handful of fights that are still too hard. If you upgrade your Scouting skill you will be able to tell which fights you must avoid.

I've found that you can achieve a lot by sneaking past enemies, picking up the goodies, and then running away.

Hi,

I am really having a great time with this game, I truly am - And I'm not so easily impressed.
However I do have a few questions, as this game is in no-way a walk-over ( and that's a good thing in my book ) : I am currently running a mage ( lvl 6 ) I've been saving my runes for a rainy day, so to speak but now I think that I've come to a halt.
1. I am in desperate need of a scroll of ressurection - Hints anyone ? - no spoliers just a general hint so I know where to look if all possible

2. The tent , where one can buy Horsemens and Knights is fairly limited , as in how many they offer, are there other such tents along the way ? - Hints ?

3. How do I know when an item is part of a set , does it say or do I have to something to make it show ?

4. Having a wife is a great thing ( for all you youngsters out there, it really is

) and also when fireing up King's Bounty, but I am a little bit dissapointed in my off-spring at the moment ( currently 4 ) - Any way that I adopt or - well a place I can get rid of the old crone to start a fresh ?

Well that's all for me at the moment, I am off to enjoy this game again

I don't know how to get to the Freedom Islands. The king said i needed to get some maps, but i can't find the way to get there. I tried to swim with a ship but it was useless, please help

Ask the boatman in Darion to take you to the Freedom Islands.
