Huh, so I guess you can brute force things with overleveling after all. Just make sure to recruit bunch of low level units. Works for me, I don't intend to abuse it but it's nice to have some kind of plan B if I'm really stuck. If it would be possible neat way around it would be to grant some exp to all your units, certainly not as much as for those who participated in a battle but still you can assume they are doing something, I don't know like training (I mean if I remember right you do get some AP this way). That way even units you never ever use would get some levels and it would be massive quality of life improvement for people who would like to have big roster of specialists they rotate in and out.

Alright, I'll stick to hard. Thanks for answers.

Oh BTW how does level scaling work? Does it take average level of all your units, just highest level unit? Does it work only with deployed units or is your whole guild taken into account?

Is this balanced/meant for normal or hard difficulty? I kind of need help deciding which one should I choose for play through, I would want to avoid situation where I go far into the game just to restart because it's too hard/too easy. Yesterday I played a bit on hard mode, I only got to Camoa but I started having doubts if I shouldn't drop it to normal. Most fights were very easy (well partially thanks to dumb AI, not much you can do) then I picked up some contracts in Camoa and well I got worried when I saw Lamia hitting my whole party for 60 hp, wolves confusing half of my party with screech spam wasn't pleasant either. I'm bit worried I'll get stuck on some fights later in the game and since (I think?) this has level scaling overleveling to clear troublesome contract isn't really an option. On the other hand I remember unmoded game got easier with time thanks to unlocking more jobs and abilities.

For context I completed game once on hard mode some .. years ago. I found it too easy and I wasn't doing any munchkin stat growth optimization or even going out of my way to use some outright broken ability combos. I had no clear plan what which unit is going to do, I kind of levelled all the jobs I had equipment for without worrying those levels in fighter will cripple my magic damage later or whatever. Should I stick to hard or will that kind of unoptimized playstyle cause problems?

Thanks for the mod by the way.
