Moved to my 3rd continent and encountered body piles for the 1st time. They were in the meadowlands, in an abandoned village made up of about 6 to 7 decent sized buildings. 5 buildings have Draugr in them, 3 BPS as I said.

This battle was the most fun I have had in like 20 years of gaming. I was an even match for them but approached their strength at first and dies 3 times. Great fun. Then I learned how to handle them, used my brain a bit and didn't take them all at once. There is something you can do to make it fairly easy (still dangerous) if stamina runs out at wrong moment.

So 4 elites in the last BP. I have at least 20 entrails and Draugr trophy and Elite Draugr trophy for the den.

I could have got more organized for this battle, but really , the swamp isn't that close. I think its 300 yards away or more. SO I avenged the villagers that I think got massacred by the swamp creatures. I really want to build a base here. It is about equidistant between, Black Forest/Swamp/Mountain and Plains. PLus its a huge already flat area, as I said 7 big buildings close together and a few outbuildings.

May just repair some of them and then build a bigger building in the center. I had to make an outpost 300 yards from here to have a place to portal into.

Loving the grind to the game and dying makes it more fun really. Cause otherwise it is too easy. My heartbeat was racing for these battles. Polearm was equalizer. The brass one as I don't have iron yet.
