Scenario difficulty - Please explain the skulls
Is it as simple as number of skulls = scenario level?

And what does the colour indicate? obviously green = easy, amber = medium, red = toughest... but struggling to really understand how much easier/tougher it implies

Basically dungeons have a level. The level of monsters scales with the dungeons level. (Also traps and coins, but that is not implemented yet it seems.) For example, at the start enemies are level 1. Easy reduces the monster level by 1, normal takes the standard and hard increases the level by 1.

Level increases their damage, HP, movement and sometimes bonuseffects. Like for example, skeletons don't have shield at level 0 if I remember it correclty, but get one on higher levels.

I understand the scaling mechanic. What i don't have a feel for is just how it has been implemented

E.g. For example I have a 2 character party - one is level 4, and one is level 5 character.. In the board game I would play scenario level 3 (average level is 4.5, div by 2 = 2.25, then round up)... The game shows me a level 3 party... Which I assume means it's following the same rules.

BUT The next scenario in my "3 green skull" road trip is marked with "2 red skulls".

What am I meant to understand by this? Is the next mission easy (as only 2 skulls vs. party level of 3) or should it be difficult (as skulls are red)?

I really like it too... but given the slightly excessive cost of dying... understanding how hard a path is expected to be is quite important.
