Having played some more I noticed two things.
First of all I think you need to readjust the attack/hold a position ai. I encountered a group of bandits with two acher and my 3 archers shot them to pieces. I even killed one of the archer and they still held back and exchanged arrowfire.
Secondly I think tools need to be more wiedly avaliable. I had to give up adventuring in a given area because there was only one set of tools avaliable in each town and they respawned to slowly, so middlegame egame I just couldn’t repair my armour and weapons as quickly as it got damaget and I’m leaving for more workshop intensive areas.
