When alone
Against a Group-- Throw one or two objects, then run in circles and just keep running into random guys, letting the game decide what I do.
Against one-- Throw objects until we meet. Stab in the upper chest till I hit heart or a lung, then attempt to cut off and part of both the left and right arms. If they run, I try to make them bleed, for later stalking after, or stab at their legs. After their arms are gone, I grapple their throat, strangle, and shield bash their skull open.
With a group
Against a group -- Wait. Maybe go kill the archers with the against a group stratagie from earlier.
Against one(this is usually some form of megabeast by now)--- Charge full, force. Stab for the chest, then swing for the head. Rinse and repeat.
Hydras-- Wait. They annoy me. (bring a lot of guys)
Dragons-- Sneak around. Let my group soak up any dragon fire, and most of the agro, slowly make my way to the opposite side of whatever the dragon seems to be maiming. Then charge and stab for the head. Killed two with one swing so far. Only lost two companions.
Titans-- That are completely retarded, like a rock man with no eyes, mouth, and just a horn for a face. Start at the bottom and break my way up. That specific case ended with me smashing off his last lower body, while a crossbowmen smashed his upper body, and a mace man destroyed the only thing left, his stupid faceless head.
Anything different- Just adapt, or die? My next adventurer will learn the lesson.
