How should I progress through?

Loving the game so far. I've been playing solo with 2 spirits for the most part and experimenting with different combinations at the very base level. I've come to really like lightning + river and started progressing through Prussia Level 1 + 2. I didn't realize there were so many additional options I can add to play the board differently. Is there a standard way to progress through these difficulties? ie. beat all Prussia levels -> then move on to England? (are they scaling in difficulty)? Also where do scenarios come into play and should I be playing w/ them as well

Level 6 Prussia is definitely much harder than level 1 England or Sweden. You get an estimated difficulty for your scenario/adversary choice on the setup screen, and you can also wildly vary difficulty depending on which spirits you choose against what adversary/scenario.

I recommend first attempting scenarii in conjunction with base level adversaries so that you still get an escalation effect, I think playing without escalation past the introductory game messes too much with the pace of invader phase II.

The quick play option is also a great way to push yourself to get out of your comfort zone while keeping a relatively balanced challenge for your level of mastery, Maybe try a few quick plays in beginner mode and set it as moderate if you win too easily. I do wish there was more options and granularity for that feature, like a fully fledged randomizer, but it does a pretty good job for now.

I agree.

I recomend just finding roughtly your difficulty Level, and playing at that level or just above, with differtent spirit combos, different adversaries and senario combos. Its amazing how different it can feel playing guard island, or blitz etc. Just explore the scope. But the real comment is there is no right way or right difficulty to play at. For example i played for my 100th game Diff 13 with a senario and spirits that made the sanario easier. Just for fun, this week ive played 20+ games all at diff 0 to use every power, and meet every threshold.
