On choosing your first difficulty

[Catman]

I am working on a way to make sure people understand that the normal difficulty is designed for most people, and that experienced strategy players should start with Harder

A new difficulty in-between is coming soon however to ease that issue! :)

Hello, eng is not my main language, sorry for grammar.
Heat events as shaman at 200% in the early are very hard, if you got Field collector + no fields at map.
for 200% you need +4 to get 100% good outcome or else you doomed

----as shaman with FieldCollector 2 fan require
1) 4hemp = 8points of work
2) 12wood = 6points of work
3) 2 day to build = 2 pow
16Pow
----at opposite 2puddle + well is
1) 4 wood = 2 pow
2) 4 wood = 2 pow
3) 2days(well) + 2 days = 4 pow
8Pow

16pow vs 8pow (with shaman who cannot increase people without leather its a lot)

if field collector will gather hemp 1day=1hemp it will reduce pow to at least

12pow vs 8pow

Why field collector require 2 turn to get 1 hemp in the early?
What do you think?

Thanks for your input. Field collector has just been buffed as we came to the same conclusion in the Discord channels, so enjoy your hemps! :)

Heads up! The new difficulty change had the unintended consequence that existing Harder games are now Hard.
If this is an issue for you, do send me the savegame file and I will transfer it to the new difficulty for you, altough this would require at least temporarely to not use cloud saves.
Thanks!

EDIT: The current patch has a cheat to alter difficulty while playing to solve this issue: SHIFT + D + N will move your difficulty 1 notch up.
