About tactics mod

I'm thinking installing Tactics and would like to ask somethings about it. I have read many things about it and I will most likely rip my hair off from frustration playing it.

1. Does tactics increase experience rewards from those beefed-up monsies?

2. What other mods would you suggest with it? I have only used Dungeon begone before but I won't with this because there is this improved ilyich(sp?)

3. Planning to use NPC mods. Should I use Valen for some counter-balance because this is my first try with tactics and I know that she is cheesy? Any other suggestions for good modded NPC's with tactics?

I have played both bg's through many times unmodded so I know spells etc.

1. Im not quite sure, but i don't think they do.

2. Im playing tactics mod with ascension, item upgrade, improved battles, refinements, Ease Of use, and a couple more small mods... You will be able to choose between a lot of components to install, so you can choose the excact difficulty. My suggestion would be, that you first install some of the less tough components, and try that out, and then later on, install the whole lot. It gets REALLY tough at some points.

3. Good NPC's would prolly be Solaufein, Kelsey and Tashia.. I wouldn't consider any of those overpowered or unrealistic..

Have fun with the game, and let me know if you manage to beat the improved Irenicus

what does improved battles and refinements do? Others I know but not those...
I'll probably install everything included in tactics and try it out. I got that impression that if something is too difficult you can reload and uninstall it.

And then there is difficult slider... it should help a little, should it?

Im playing core rules just so you know...

Improved Battles makes the many of the normal battles more challenging.. fx. the quest with the Tanner murderer in the bridge district, but also some monsters etc.
Refinements adds the following:
1- New HLAs Tables for all classes*
2- "SwashImoen"
3- Shapeshifting fix
4- Universal lesser mage robes
5- Sword Angel Kit*
6- CamDawg's World Map Fixes
7- CamDawg's Weapon Animation Tweaks
