I dont get why those NPCs are so strong?
Just get rid of all caravan NPC guards, give caravan leader some shitty weapon (but give him big resistances/a lot of hp, so he dont die when you fart) and you won't be able to just afk on a caravan (cause that's the reason of introducing those OP encos).
I don't mind slightly harder mobs, but this is just ridiculous.
