Game Too Hard/Easy

[mcolton]

I started a new game (AP) being a mage and playing normal mode. When I got to Scarlet Wind and Bolo, EVERY army was invincible. I was at level 6 and there was nothing I could do to continue (I've read all the hints).

So I started a new game; again a mage at easy level. Now I get to Scarlet Wind and almost every army I see runs away from me. The few battles I do have, I don't even need an army. I just use magic and wipe them out in 2 or 3rounds.

Neither game is fun. Is there something I can do to fix this.
Thanks for any help
