After visiting one of my old forts, i got about half a dozen followers of my own kind. They were all civilians, so still wore out pretty quick, although they delivered some heavy stomping when i foolishly decided to stay for the night in a savage desert and was accosted by giant scorpions. Made it back to human civs, i.e. a fresh supply of followers.
For some reason i ran into occasion nemesis load failure crashes of late and ended up saving after every single day to avoid losing too much progress. Save-scummed twice to get out of ambushes (of enemies i had already vanquished before running into load nemesis) - one a legendary hammergobbo who was completely unhittable in melee, another a kobold archer who scored a good hit and removed my shield as one of its first moves. As i said, since i had already beat or escaped the very same enemies but lost progress to crashes it felt like they savescummed to get me...
Received a doable quest from a castle for a change - a roc (instead of a dragon or vampire). I ended up hurling clay at it until it suffocated from two demolished lungs and made my way to the nearest human hamlet. I think i'll just retire this world; the nemesis bug seems to be quite persistent, so it would likely keep hitting me in this world. Bit of a shame really, but it was good fun while it lasted.
