Ancient Battlefield

[DG]

On the world map the Ancient Battlefield claims to have a 50 hostility penalty. When the map is played it give me a 150 hostility penalty which is incredibly punishing. Seen this both times I played this feature.

Hostility 50 seems like a reasonable penalty, 100 might be a tough but fair penalty, 150 seems nasty. Whatever size the penalty is, the world map should show the correct penalty.

Hey! This effect scales with the difficulty, but you're right that it's not explained when you're on the World Map. We'll try to make it more clear ^^

Sup! This can be confusing but it's by design. You can pick any difficulty you want from the world map and we have no way of knowing what difficulty that would be. We could try to show you the value based on the last difficulty you played, or the difficulty you've played the most but in any case, the value would be inconsistent between sessions and players, and in each case, you could just switch the difficulty as a last action before embarking. Thus we've decided to show the basic, unscaled value and count on your knowledge of the game to predict the outcome. There is no real punishment for restarting the game after all.

I can see your logic but I still feel the description for the ancient battlefield could be better, even if it cannot be precise.
