An all Black Mage party I actually did once and it wasn’t that bad once you get second level spells. You can avoid most battles and just nuke everything else. It’s the all White Mage parties which suck hardcore.

Take any Strategy game and try to get to the end with all opponents alive on the highest difficulty. Beating the game may be easy, but keeping some retard computer alive whenn they have no units and only one town left and insist on being at war with everyone else for some friggin’ reason. I try to do this and on Master of Orion 2 it’s in the AI that after a certain point they MUST be at war with someone, no matter what, and it must include another computer player.
