A few suggestions for the dev, regarding challange levels.

So first of all, hello everyone. Hope you have had a great summer.

I am suggesting the dev to rethink how the challenge levels work, as they are both tedious and not consistent.
Let me explain;

First of all, having to replay the first 6 difficulty's for all factions isn't really that fun, we get used to playing on challenge 7 and we are not allowed to play all 3 acts for a fair few hours each time we try and play a new faction.

Thus I would suggest that it is made so you only have to play a level once, at all. Meaning once you made it through level 6, you have the option to select level 7 on all factions and hero’s.

It will mean that people won’t have to grind through the stages, but honestly are people really doing that anyway? I am not talking about tossers like myself, that do it for achievements, but the general average player. I highly doubt it.

Secondly, I suggest the dev (again) look at the difficulty options, as if you complete level 7 for a hero of a faction, you have the option to skip level 1-6 on the others. For example, if you have completed the high elf wizard, then the new “support” hero “spellsword” can be taken directly into level 7.
I did this yesterday with the “Elf Noble”.

This is something I figure is fairly easy to fix, as it stands that it’s not supposed to be that way. Or it could per my first suggestion be implemented that once is enough for all hero’s.

Is there downsides to this? Sure playtime, as well as the gimping of yourself if you don’t have unlocked the units (like dragons), but that has to be up to the player. All I suggest is that we open it up, so people that want’s to challenge themselves don’t have to grind needlessly for tens of hours (per faction).

I'm just +1ing to keep this post relevant.
I like the game and I've played very few hours because I'm waiting for the workshop (I would love a mod that lets you play any difficulty without having to grind) or big improvements to the AI.
Once you understand the AI, the game is too easy and it feels like a chore to level up with EACH hero and faction without giving yourself some kind of handicap.

I went and made a thread that showed people how to manually go and unlock each race's max difficulty.

If you search "How to manually set difficulty to level 6 or 7" you can find it.
