Well, see, that's the thing, that map can be confusing to the eyes at
times, so neither of us uses it all the time. I probably use it more
since I have a mouse with extra buttons and the one by the thumb turns the
map on and off, while he hardly ever uses it since he has to hit 'tab' and
is not a touch typist.

At this point, we kill monsters at close to the same rate, except when he
transforms into the bear and whallops all the monsters into corpses quite
quickly.

Heh, you would think so, however, he also has minions/critters so he
should be easy to track also. It's just that we each get into a 'pack',
within seeing distance, then his guys go in one direction after their next
'pack' of monsters, while mine go after a different 'pack' at a slightly
different angle, after a couple of times of this we are yelling "Hey,
where did you go?" at each other. The fog of battle and other herbs may
not help much either I suppose.
