You sure are a vocal folk. I don't see many people complaining about EVA like you said.

Citing yourself  from another post "Anyone else who's had *EVASION* issues w 5.4 This is good place to comment/post about them.   
too many things scattered/not organized)"

Then why are you creating a new post about the same topic? Nobody replied to the 1rst one and you're scattering all over by creating new topics (at least 5 recently) all complaining about the difficulty of the game.

From a picture you shared in the screen bug post I saw how many classes you had on your Master by D14, only 3 (not counting the Master class since everybody have it)! I on the other end while not playing hardcore had already 6, the double. I guess your slaves doesn't have much classes either hence your struggles in battle. Your stats are lacking too, you have everything in Phy, that means you either don't have mages/ healer or you didn't trained them which is quite bad.

For comparison by D6 I have already 3/4 classes on the Master which also means 2/3 classes on my other combattants (3 slaves).

From the little informations I saw I can clearly say your team isn't capable to hold their ground in combat. I would dare say my team at D6 is more capable than yours and since at the start of the 2nd week I can clear all the easy dungeons I am certain that you're not doing things correctly.

You get beat up because you :

- don't manage your resources correctly

- don't level up your characters

- don't give your characters  all the useful classes

- don't train them enough to have good stats

- spend money like crazy

Me and others had  already given you a good amount of help and tips to help you clear the EARLY game, you're not even at the mid game with the Bank quest.  

The game is not hard right now, it's in a nice spot right now that still allow for errors and not doom you like you said. In my saves I had many of my fighters Badly injured (thus the debuff) and had once the starvation effect (an oversight, forgot to buy food) which gives a debuff for many days (half attack damage, half productivity) and I did finish fine the early game, even under the starvation effect I could clear an easy dungeon (I had to play more seriously but not that difficult either). So? Am I a god player or are you the one doing something wrong? I can assure you that I'm not that good of a player.
