Thread: Question about the recommended difficulty.

  1. #1

    Default Question about the recommended difficulty.

    I already asked this in the questions and answers thread, but since that one doesn't seem to have been used for some time I decided it was worth asking here as well:

    Is there any reason why it's recommended you play the game on VH/VH?

    Because even in VH/VH it is really easy.

    Basically because that's the setting the game was balanced for.
    Under the patronage of Finlander. Once patron to someone, no longer.
    Content's well good, innit.

    Is that also true for the combat? Because I find playing on VH really annoying during battles. AI always seems nigh unbreakable until you kill their general.

    It is? I mean, maybe I just suck. But I've been getting my ass kicked from here to Sunday playing as Dwarfs. You never seem to have enough money to do anything, your generals can die from random catapult shots, and economic growth takes forever.

    That's what it was *balanced* for, but nothing says you can't play on whatever difficulty you want If you find VH/VH too hard to start with (and TATW is difficult compared to vanilla med2), just start off on H/H or whatever combination works for you, and play on whatever you find most fun.

    I guess. I do like the challenge for the most part, expect maybe the morale bonuses. Was mostly just wondering why the game recommends you play on that high of a difficulty.

    As long as you dont play easy/easy, you are ok. I play normal/normal because i am sick of conquering 3/4 of ME and then stopping because the settlement, whose entire population of orcs/elves/humans/dwarves i just put to the sword to remind them not to eff with my gondorians/elves/dwarves, will still effing riot with half a stack of forces garrisoning it. Also, i hate VH battles since seeing a fricking snaga get a kill on an eldar swordsman is enough for me to say that.
