Just be or is this game to hard?

It's certainly increased in difficulty since the beta. There I was playing the multiplayer campaign on Hard. The AI on Hard is much smarter and more ruthless than it was in the Normal Campaign - and it had some very good moments there as well.

I'll admit, I've had to play on Casual/Easy for my first playthrough to try and get a hang of the system after getting wrecked when I tried to start on normal. This is a far cry from the RTS I'm used to and better at, so, it's a learning experience for me.

If it is too hard, change game speed. I think overall, hard is still to easy but they already said, that they will increase the difficult on hard in the Story Campaign.

I ended up just mass producing armor on the turned based map, and then rushing the enemy at the start of the RTS. Most rounds were over in less than a minute. On the final battle I didn't even stop to build anything, just bulldozed upto the palace, leveled it and won before I could even spawn the dragon.

It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Early campaigns can be won by massing upgraded grenadiers. Later campaigns require you to multi-task dragon form and troops, unelss you're steam rolling them with huge stacks of units.

I've beaten invasion forces of 20 ~ or so units with only one trooper stationed, by kiting their forces and holding out until I could build a good stack of army, and have my dragon up. (dragons can easily take out huge formations by themselves).

A good tip btw is, don't beat the campaign map until you've upgraded everything and amassed a bit of gold and research points. Since these things carry over to the next campaign.

I must say I was shocked when I first played the campaign on normal. The enemy owns 80% of the map and rushes you so soon and hard that I was defeated in no time. I mean what is the point? You hardly get a tutorial and only have enough time to conquer 3 lands and build a small army before the enemy simply rushes over you from all sides. And the RT-Battles are exactly the same. The enemy simply throws so many units at you, it is ridiculous! This Game needs Balance!

How do you build while in dragon form? That is my pet peave currently, that the army I do have does not expand as I try and bring the opponent down with the dragon.

Really? I played on normal like you but I immediatley started to pick territory after territory from the enemy. Only had one setback so far when I screwed up in one RTS battle, so I rather thought it may be a little too easy. I assume there is some random elements in the campaign setup, so it may be that I simply had a more favorable starting condition. E.g. I had quite a few mercenaries in my cards at the start. I'd say restart the campaign and see what happens.

What I do is set up quite a queue of units to be built at the forges /factories, set up suitable gatering points for them and then transform. That usually gives me enough time to do what I want to do in dragon form. Then I morph back set up new queue sort my units, then back to dragon form.

Stop whining on difficulty, and start thinking with your head.

GhanBuriGhan has it right, as far as I can tell. However, it is important to note that you can press "R" again to morph OUT of dragon form. Very useful if you tend to keep your dragon alive for long periods of time. I *think* that morphing back and forth doesn't cost anything, aside from that first payment to spawn the dragon. Unless, of course, it actually dies.

Also, I strongly recommend getting good at beating the easy AI in one-off skirmish battles before starting the actual campaign because it doesn't really teach you how to fight the battles and the campaign doesn't exactly start with the board stacked in your favor.

In dragon form press y,x,c or v for your different buildings and then at the bottom right, it shows the shortcut of buliding a unit. So you can easy build units in Dragon Form.

On normal it was a little challenging in act 1, biding my time and waiting for the enemy to attack me in my entrenched territories. After that I amassed Warlocks and Imps, completely wrecked everything and I stomped through act 3 very quickly.

Very fun though. I'll have to take a crack at the improved hard mode.

First playthrough was hard and didn't even try most of them I just auto-resolved in the end cause I couldn't be bothered with doing it my self anymore(was also harder then resolving).

I played really slow tho and defensive leaving nothing open etc. So maby I overleveled in someway don't know. Probably if you rush the game it is a lot harder.
