in the screen where you choose a faction at the beginning of a campaign, I would like to see the different difficulties for each faction.

personally, I like to play a Hard or Very Hard faction on VH/VH. I suppose it's a bit subjective which factions are harder than others, but overall I like having the Easy/Medium/Hard/Very Hard descriptions in the faction information scroll.

the lack of this info wouldn't be a big deal if the info in the scroll said a bit more about what it's like to play each individual faction in TE, but the info there seems a bit sparse to me... some of them don't even seem like they have been changed from the Vanilla descriptions.

Most of them havn't had their descriptions changed at all, but some have. The descriptions on general strategy remain the same, basically. They do still give a general guide to what factions surround you at the start and what you can expect to face in battle.

To be honest, it wouldn't take very long at all to add the difficulty warning to each description it just depends if Lusted has the time and / or wants it in his mod.

yeah, I know it's a quick addition, otherwise I wouldn't ask about it so flippantly.

but, it's also something rather important when you consider how important choosing the right faction is.

One slight problem with this: each campaign is different and the challenges faced different, so how would you rate how difficult each faction is as it can vary from campaign to campaign.

Orolinwe · Aug 9, 2006

well, you could say the same thing about Vanilla but they still do it... RTR does as well.

I mean, it's clear for example that playing as Numidia is going to be more difficult than playing as Ptolemaios, so why should it be so hard to rank the overall difficulty for all the factions. like I said, some of it is subjective, of course, but having a basic idea of which factions are the more difficult ones in the mod is still useful.

and even if you don't put the basic difficulty like "easy, hard" etc., having a bit more description about the starting status of each faction in the scroll could be helpful too.

Lusted, it could just be a bit of info on the starting staus of each faction, and an estimated difficulty level for the faction when played by a human. Sure, every campaign is always different, but there is nothing wrong in saying that this might happen, or this might not happen, etc. Usually the AI has a trend they follow with their expansion.

And Lusted, Id be more than willing to add such descriptions in, i might need a little help but i doubt it. I need something to do so if its ok.......

It only says it in Vanilla BI, and i've not played RTR. Campaigns in my mod vary a lot more than vanilla. I have not played with all factions so i could not give a fair assesment of their difficulty.

Hader, if you want to do that i would be more than happy for you to.
