If you change the overall difficulty, yes it does. If you use individual sliders, the bottom one changes the map difficulty. You will be returned to the starting base with all your people and equipment.

My only caution is do not reset Trumbull Valley until all of the story missions particular to that map are completed. It will seriously impede the story elements and their order. Since the story there takes much less time than clearing the map or exploring all of it, I usually will reset it by exiting the map and choosing Trumbull again after all story elements are completed. You will have 3 characters from the story there who are in a completed status and available as traders, and all elements of plague hearts, loot and enemies reset, as well as all normal game missions happening.

Without giving too much away, they will have an actual definite end to each story arc for Tressie, Mickey, and Izzbee That you will know. Chavez doesn't really have a story arc. His is revealed through other missions. So don't worry about his.

I've twice tried to reset and/or leave the map and return before completing the stories in Trumbull and had horrible results with mission progress and quest firing. they will go out of order, and repeat.
