Saladin Campaign 'Default Difficulty'

[Felidae]

Hey guys, I notice that the Saladin Campaign have 3 swords, which probably means its hard as heck, regardless of the difficulty setting, I guess...

I am kinda curious because back in the "1999 AoE2"... The Saladin campaign was kinda easy and Barbarossa was a hard one. Somehow it was flip now.

Yea I noticed that too. Even the Lombard League mission in DE was pretty easy on hard.
But I noticed Saladin mission 2 is difficult, Cyan even advances to Castle Age, in the '99 version, they were locked to Feudal, only Blue advances to Imp AFAIK

[Felidae]

wow... so, saladin its no longer the cakewalk it once was...

oh well, i guess i will beat it one day

note: Oh snap this guy got banned! lol!

lol banned, well imo lombard league is considerably harder than before (barbarossa's 4th) and saladin isnt really as hard as they point out with 3 swords, 2nd mission is definitely harder than before, specially early, but the rest of the missions feel the same difficulty for me as in the original AoK

[Felidae]

maybe those swords mean a different kind of difficulty, like how much that give civilization and what you need to do deviates from the normal thing an average joe will do, in a random map kind of way...

You see, almost all campaign missions are like: collect resources, build up your economy and tear stuff up... You just get so many special parameters thrown left and right, unlike RM or DM which try to hit the equilibrium mark.

Even three swords it shows you it doesn't mean all the missions are on the really hard difficulty.
idk how the dev defines these Campaigns difficulty
Perhaps just some missions are harder and the rest have no difference since AoK

[Felidae]

Well.. I may start a two swords campaign soon..

I expected more swords (scimitars) for more scimitar-throwing by mammeluks.

You know that curved scimitars have higher chance of doing damage when thrown in comparison to straight swords:)
