Battle and campaign difficulty?

**orutar** · December 28, 2014, 04:15 PM

I want to play as Rome in 1.0, but I want a real challenge.

What settings do you recommend? What changes when you change the campaign difficulty only?

The battle difficulty is still set to be "playable" at normal. Above and it will be extremely unbalanced in your disfavor.
Campaign difficulty, my personal recommendation is hard. More experienced persons can deal with very hard or legendary.

Normal/Normal if you are a beginner or a slow-poke/turtle player.

With the new unit stats it is possible to player higher battle difficulties but it will be difficult.

I recommend Hard campaign but that could be too much if you haven't played the mod before.

Also depends on the factions and the circumstances. Some play through you get lucky, other times not. Although with new income system things are getting tougher. Right now I don't think anyone is really certain about the overall difficulty of DeI 1.0, but as Butan and Dresend said, hard or very hard campaign and normal maybe hard battle difficulty.

Yes you can change the battle difficulty in the options menu after you start a campaign.

**zombieflanders** · December 28, 2014, 08:03 PM

It's under Options > Game Settings.

I've always played on hard/normal myself.

I would say stick with that, i'm getting the feeling that the difficulty shouldn't be increased till we see how that plays in 1.0

Want a challenge?

Play a faction with diplomatic penalties (Roman Junia, Carthago Barcid, good old Macedon, etc.) on H/H or VH/N. Make sure to tell us what happened
