Rothglen is impossible

[LootSoldat]

The constant attacks from the south due to the event, which are getting bigger and faster, are no longer bearable. I even went down to the easiest difficulty and it's impossible. They come so often that I can't repair anything anymore. And I can't fend off the main waves anymore either because I have to stop the nonstop attacks from the south. They urgently need to be removed.

Any Tips? The southern attacks always break my neck at some point because they come way too fast

Campaign bug in level "rothglen"

From a moment in the game, there are waves coming from one side, NON STOP!
And it's not the "main" enemy wave. It's impossible to keep them away as they keep coming every 5 minutes or so. I have to route al my army to that buggy wave that keeps coming non stop

I can't progress. stuck on this level.

Not a bug, intended. You need to develop fast to leave for the Uncharted Continent

Damn ok, i can't keep up with the micromanaging everything, just ragequit my second attempt, guess im gonna use the pause button more or something

I only beat this level after about 30 levels of ingame playtime. it is really hard, the difficulty spike is insane. I get that its the first new level in the 1.0 and maybe it is expected that people just got gud at the other game modes? But as a new player who just started with the campaign it is brutal. What I rec is making sure you get your resources south first, so when the constant waves starts you can get your resources in other areas.

I had to choose the easiest one...

This is what I did on medium difficulty 10 minutes ago. 18 archers ASAP > 60 crossbowmen > made the other melee troops gradually.
I used the crossbowmen to explore while the melee troops guarded the area with stone walls and towers. I also made 8 ballistae by the time I had built 4 ships. This game is economy first so you should not be struggling with resources by the time the drunk peasants from the South come in waves.

If enemies zerg rush you, zerg rush them too!

[Michael@Belgium]

In early access this game had also problems with balance and difficulty

But i mean nobody plays the first time to get the #1 world record of fastest time to finish a level, nobody will excpect you have to do everything so quickly and clear the map as soon as possible

yep, it was too easy in EA, now it is even more easier

[Defenderino]

First build up a strong economy and then build a nice stone wall with a few war machines and you can concentrate on the actual mission. Worked for me.

Pretty much the worst response a dev could have. I would hope you could, you don't balance for yourself or someone with thousands of hours of playtime.

The difficulty spikes on the 4th mission to an insane degree, the three missions before this are a joke, 4th mission is near impossible.

Yeah this mission was where I just went "not for me". It just changes format from "survive x-waves" to "do this asap otherwise you will get overwhelmed". And it introduces a new currency I've not interacted with before (gold) for the main objective. And it introduces a new type of resource field that I dont know how to extract from (those iron deposit things that need a building I dont know where to get). And all this on the 4th mission?

And then we have devs coming in going "Well I build the game and I could beat it on the hardest difficulty, git gud" amazing :D
