Title: Your difficulty level?
Post by: Nibelung44 on October 02, 2010, 01:16:39 AM

Hi,

What is the difficulty level you play with usually?

Is for example 200% a high difficulty level?

Difficulty level is largely unused, because it doesn't work.
A higher starting % makes NPRs burn through their starting system resources too fast, so they kill their own economy.
For a more difficult game, get 2 starting NPRs, and start on conventional, that essentially gives those NPRs a 10 year headstart.

There was a problem with difficulty level in earlier versions but it should be fine for v5.20
