Im having a spot of difficuly with what i feel is the rather uneven difficuly level in the game (1.13). After taking the drassen SAM I get hit with the elites (dont use the Drassen counterattack) and they slaughter me. A few saves and reloads later i manage to catch them south of the SAM at night and with some patience and more save/reload I kill them. Game goes on at a slow pace and I take Chitzene with SAM, after while at least 2 squads of elites show up. I cant manage to get more than 2 of them in any scenario, unless I hit them in the head they take like 2 damage and hit my guys for 20+ damage at long ranges.
Obviously Im doing it wrong.
Am I to slow? Its like day 13 by the time I take Chitzena. I like to take it slowly but that it perhaps too slow...
I need to get better at this game obviously. Any special tricks to taking on the elites when I dont have have powered sniperrfiles? Managed to get my hands on a couple of L85s woth combat sights so far...
I went from Drassen to Chitzena via San Mona. Is there and order of conquest that is easier?
Or perhaps I should get down to Novice til I learn this game a bit better...

San Mona, Chitzena, Drassen is a quite easy way.
Killing Kingpin and his goons gives you a nice boost to your economy, you get better weapons and training for your mercs.
Or you could try changing the percentage of elites in the .ini file.

Don't forget grenades....grenades will soften up the enemy by damaging their health, armor, and accuracy. Get a M79, Colt Launcher System (CLS), or RGM from Tony on your way through San Mona. Devin will sell 40mm grenades if you find him early enough. With a grenade, you can hurt a group of enemies, weaken their armor, so your gunshots do more damage, and when they are wounded, they will not aim as well. If you don't have HE grenades, stun grenades work just as well.
