OK I never had the chance to play v5 so I plan to give it a try in the next weeks.

I know I should not install any other difficulty enhancing mods...I have few components from tactics and improved battles which worked fine with V4 in my last game. Will they cause any problems? Namely, unique encounters such as poison avatars, the ritual quest, Bodhi, Maevar, etc.

Bu I also love one particular component of tactics mod and am asking if I can keep it, if so, how?

It is improved undead...it enables all undead critters to have some minor spell like powers...shadows, zombies cast low lvl stuff such as spook, doom, blindness, etc. while higher lvl undead (greater mummies) cast deadly stuff like Finger of Death or Wail of the Banshee.

If I install IA after this component, I noticed undead stopped using their abilities. If I install this component after IA (I know, Sikret, you strictly forbid us to install any other mod after IA) and start a new game, undead work fine. Imoen comes as a gothic sorceress as well, and item randomization program works without problems. (so the message says me) So, I am thinking will it work without problems?

Sola mod does not go with IA. He is waay too powerful, he has his own periapt against poison + helm of defence and he messes up shade lord (for this I am sure, cause shade lord invokes Loth and summons a spider + casts power word blind on him immediately) . Don't install it. + eclipse fight nets you an eclipse avenger with #dispel per hit# (aka old sotm) and a strange "cumulative blindness" effect which lowers your opponent thaco by 10 if they don't save vs spell at -4 as I recall and has an insane regeneration rate. He gets something like elistrae blessing which heals party and damages enemies a lot, insta cast. he gets dimdoor, instacast, unlimited use per day. IA enemies would probably be too confused seeing a drow f/m teleporting faster than they can kill him smile.gif His undead form uses triple SI. (div, abj, evoc) I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other bugs related, but didn't bother actually playing or installing him with IA. He is fun, tough.
