what do you think about this?

How about if, instead of groups of henchmen in your party screen, each slot was occupied by only one unit/henchmen? Sort of like D&D party. The higher your charisma, larger your party.

You could equip and level up each of your party members (like marnid and borcha). Unlike marnid and borcha, they could die.

Enemy groups would have to be toned down (or maybe some of them not. which would make them almost unbeatable).

Smaller number of units would mean that battles would be fought in one go, all units on the battlefield from the start, no reinforcements.

In the beginning, battles would be a lot like arena fights, with inferior equipment.

I like fights with larger numbers of allies and enemies.

sounds like stuff for a mod, just give the player a lot of heroes or find a way to steadily autogenerate more heroes.
and prevent him to get normal followers.
to scale the opponents down, you could decrease npc party numbers or just decrease battle size.

but i guess this would only make sense with better ai and with more detailed options to control them.

Personnaly,
I love the random-aspect.

But thank you to put a more descriptive title than a "come on here !!!" stuff.
