Much has changed since EB1.0 but not the difficulty ratings of factions since, they severely need updating and here your experience playing as these factions can help.

(We already had a thread about it but due to a TWC crash every thread between the crash and december 25th, the last back up of the forums, has dissappeared.)

Please use the following format:

Early game difficulty: easy-nigh impossible
Late game difficulty: easy-nigh impossible

Army/unit: please list strengths, weaknesses and challenges.
Campaign: please list strengths weaknesses relating to starting position, adversaries, economy and building options.

Your help is needed and very welcome. Thanks in advance!
