I played MM6 many years ago, but only recently started MM7. Did most of the side quests and main quest up to the light/dark choice, and now I want to start over with a slightly different party and some less careless mistakes in skill point allocation ... Anyway, here goes:1) On the main site it says about party creation: "It is desirable to chose characters of different Races. So as to give away as little as possible, suffice it to say that there are several circumstances in the game in which having a diverse Party is beneficial. This goes for genders as well."
Genders isn't the problem, but do I lose out on anything if my party doesn't have a particular race in it, rewards- or story-wise? In my first game I had two dwarfs and two elfs, didn't seem to make a difference so far that I lacked goblins and humans.
2) Seems there are several unofficial patches floating around? I got the official 1.1 and some unofficial mm7_eng_xp.exe (Might & Magic VII English Patch v1.21 Setup). Still had wands with 1 and no charges in my game. Which patches should I use, and where to get them?
3) Do boni from different types of hirelings to the same stat stack? I only just found out that I got only one +15% from the two instructors I had with me all this time, would an instructor and a teacher give me +25%?
4) The Perception skill reduces trap damage and shows secret doors in dungeons, what else does it do, especially on the main maps (i.e. not dungeons)?
