What campaign difficulty level you are playing?

[Pleiades]

I am curious to see on what camp difficulty level people play TATW, especially patch 1.2. It would be nice if we see explanation behind decision, for example - less spamming of stacks, more challenge etc.

And all of you who play on VH/VH before you were born , do you have some particular reason(s) why you choose this difficulty settings from the start? Or maybe better questions are: what new game features would make you reduce your difficulty level or question - have you ever lost some TATW game? Also, do you think that patch 1.2 is more challenging or less challenging than 1.1 and why? Thanks for discussion.

very hard/very hard

playing gondor... actually @ turn 50 holding harad at the sea-pass (well on the city under it), and mordor on osgiliath/cair andros...

i got 5fountain guards as mission reward, so im starting to pwn harad instead of holding ,


idk why, its the hardest right? xD

vh/vh all the way

[ericisdabomb]

wow easy easy Ive never one a total war campaign except for shogun oh yeah

Until now I was always playing with VH/VH, but I am seriously thinking about going H/VH, because I know I will always win somehow and I hope to reduce stack spamming by reducing camp difficulty level.

VH ofc.

They only spam more stacks though they are a lot weaker.

Weaker in number or weaker in quality of units or weaker both in quality and number? And what about medium difficulty level?

[A1_Unit]

I play VH/VH because that's what I always do.

I moved former text from here to first post.

Welcome to the forum. You are my first newcomer.

Have you considered lowering difficulty on medium cause of going bankrupt?

Thanks and it's usually my own greediness that makes me go bankrupt from buying too much stuff without thinking. But it makes the game interesting!

i usually start games on medium, and if i like em i go hardest dificulty, and tatw is a mtw2 mod, which i started playing on hard (alrdy played mtw1 xD), and was on vh/vh for a long time before tatw, so wouldnt change it .

I lost some games as spain in vanilla game, but not here xD.

And... i played 1.1+RC with high elves...
1.0 with gondor
1.2 with gondor :$.

The hardest one was 1.0 with gondor, but i didnt know things about it..., i mean, now i've defended harad at south with a strong army (well actually attacking them) and holding osgiliath, on 1.0 i tried to take minas ithil and i failed xD, then almost lost minas tirith... and lost and recovered some of south places vs harad, now in 1.2 everything its ok but prolly bcs i alrdy knew what AI was gona do (in addition snagas were god who rapped rohan before i installed rc submod ~turn 70).

[Blackomur89]

VH/VH there's no other, it is the way it should be played.

[tesb]

vh/m

[KinGstoN_16]

VH/VH isn't fair. AI spamming their forces as hell for me M/M is nice bec it's real maybe it is easy but ... it is annoying to kill full stack of units from nowhere

i'm playing very hard with the silver elfs (patch 1.2)
well I am no at turn 50+-
well the dawars and I have bine able to destroy the orks from the misty mountion
and I allready take to city from isngard incloding fangron forest (also buy the aints but it suck cuz you could play jast with 1 unit from tham )
well i think that the game is to easy
and i dont relly fills any diffrent at the dif lvl from patch 1.1

i have very bad lag at the game
when i attack a city and i shot with my archers on the troop insaid the city
thay take out all threr trop and than i could destroy tham very easly
this is one of the reasons why the campaing is so easy (very big reason)
any one see the to?

As for Silvan Elves (SE), i suggest that you try Real Recruitment/Real Combat (RR/RC) submod by Point Blank, because he made SE units much harder to get. This page for download:
