I know that if my heroes levels are growing, random enemies groups consist of more dangerous, higher level creatures.

But what is important for me is this: is this rule used also for other monsters (for example for Dark Savant etc.)? I turned whole Umpany base against me and I was not able to fight with them so I teleported from there and now I am trying to train my characters. Will be those umpanis on same level when I return with stronger group or they will be also stronger?

My answer must be a no!!! The none Random encounter monsters don't get stronger according to your chartacter level!
I also chose to destroy the Umpani "airport", but very late in the game, meaning my characters was quite powerfull at that time (Level 22), and I kicked all the Umpanis a$$ although the fights were challenging.
Some random encounters get a little tougher according to your level, but nothing significant. At level 23-25 you can take on any camp, no matter how many they are!

Good news...
But these groups they are significantly stronger than they were.
For example in begining I met between Arnika and Trynton several groups of 5 or 6 bugs with 20 - 30 hit points. Now I meet several groups of Jurgenauts with 260 hit points and strong attacks.
But they are maybe not random, they maybe apeare when you reach certain point in story. I do not know.
But good news for me, that I will be able to fight with this Umpanis when I train my chracters a little bit more (with my group on 15 - 17 levels heroes I am able to fight with several basic Umpanis with one or two Laitntants, but group of 4 Laitnants an 4 Commanders with pistols is too difficult for me).

Yes, the Juggernauts are part of the story, so not really random encounter. You must carry an "Orb".!!!

Regarding the umpani officiers, they like to shoot from the distance with there guns.
Use the spell "Missile shield" to catch most of the shots, and the spell "Armor plate" against melee fights. If you got no Magic users who can handle these spells, then I guess you will get a harder time beating them, but it's still very possible.

Yes, I'm led to believe that random monster encounters will pretty much mirror your levels..example: When I left the monastery the first time, I did NOT clean out the little bandit camp near there ... The one with the gloves, the leggings, and the chest..However, I went out to Arnika (and gained a few levels), then came back. I was about level 7-8 now. I THEN went to the camp, and all of the bandits were like level 4-5...because they are NOT supposed to be a random encounter..however, when I went back into the monastery, all of the slimes and things were levels 7-9...the random encounter monsters DO level up...only to make the fights worthwhile..

I really do not know, because I returned to Monastery with my party with average level 20. And I met really really very weak monsters (one not powerfull fireball killed them all).

Got the same experience as Danicek. The random encounters may get stronger during the game, but nothing compared to your characters. Returning to the monestary at level 15-16 was no match at all, eventhough the encounters had got a little stronger too.
This applies for the hole wizardry world!
