Game Too Easy?

[Tacit_Exit]

Watching some streamers play pretty casually on hardest settings and they don't seem to be having any problems, just minor economic/population setbacks from raiding that are quickly recovered.

Are there any plans for tougher settings or deadlier enemies?

Ask that question again once you've tried it for yourself.

That's actually a very reasonable question. Some folks won't try it out for themselves if they don't think the game as shown presents more of a challenge. There are +s and -s to the new streaming marketing strategy so if the streamers make it look like a cakewalk and there are no reasssurances from a developer, well, it's just a game that will not interest them.

[MedeaFleecestealer]

Depends on things like the maps rolled, what difficulties they selected, whether any did some private playing of it before they streamed, etc.

Hope you are wrong, reason I stop playing most games - too easy and without challenge there is no reason to play it for me.

[Shealladh]

That's what people said about WarTales too, then complaint was too hard when released.
Should be a challenge, not impossible, but also not straight cut moddie coddle you

From the streamers who are doing longer term games it seems difficulty scales with the size of your town. You could conceivably never go past tier 2 and keep a healthy happy settlement that stays that way forever. You could probably do it staying at tier 1. The difficulty is going to be feeding your town as it grows and you are sprawled all over the map and running out of resources. But that looks to be very very late game. Plus most seem to be playing on moderate difficulty so there isn't much raiding. Haven't seen much play at all using the hardest raid settings.

This.

Never take threads like this seriously. They're nothing more than bragging badly disguised in the form of a question.

Also take into account that a lot of these streamers are "veterans" at these types of games. What appears to be easy for them, may not be for others.

I'm not sure current footage is the best representation of the difficulty on Vanquisher, especially considering the Press build has a bug with raider targeting that makes them much less dangerous.

So we'll see where opinions land on the 9th! ;)

I was wondering about the raiders because they seem to lose focus and wander around becoming easy meat even for a few towers.

[Sakujo]

I hope this will be tweaked. Number one complain about early Youtuber streaming is the seasons progressing too fast, but at the same time this is a balance decision too.

Pues yo espero que los desarrolladores incluyan un sistema fácil como opción. A veces los juegos, como es mi caso, se juegan por simple belleza, sin querer complicarte la vida. Que puedas construir y avanzar sin que se te vaya todo al traste en el 3º año... Creo haber leído en su web que incluirán un "modo fácil", y espero que de verdad lo sea, ya que otros cities builders, tienen esa opción y sin embargo, siguen siendo "difíciles" o no tan fáciles como aparentan. Deberían dar la opción a todos sin excepción. Me resulta un juego precioso (por videos que sigo). Espero además que pulan algunas cosillas, por ejemplo el tema de eliminar los caminos que se eliminan por partes y no la sección que tú quieres. En cuanto a los cultivos, me parece demasiado rocambolesco, demasiados ajustes para que den comida..., no sé, así a bote pronto. Tengo ganas de jugarlo con tranquilidad y, como digo, en modo muyyyyyyy fácillllllll. :)

Could be fun to send a save game to the streamers. Where they are invaded within 30/60 min's by a warband or enemy kingdom.
Because thats a thing right as soon as you get larger say a castle based city other armies come?

Maybe not easy, more less detailed. i have seen no nails, no iron bands etc. If i am wrong, correct me. ;)
Not realistic enough in my eyes. (anyone remember the "revolution mod" for forrest village?)
I wish there would be more of that (I know it is not casual stuff).
