With the latest patch, I have added several new difficulty options to the game in order to provide varying degrees of challenge for players.
The options are:
- Economy: Prosperous, Normal, Poor
- Enemy Training Speed: Slow, Normal, Fast
- Matchups: Easy, Normal, Hard
- Lethality: Merciful, Normal, Barbaric
If you select the toughest options, the first purses will be more sparse, enemies will always use their top-level fighters against you, their gladiators will train faster than yours, and deaths will be more frequent (so warm up that cloning module).
I aim to add a few more in the coming months, but this should provide players with enough options to play out the game they want to play!
Note that the options are for new games - for current saves, the default difficulty for all of the above options will be set for normal.
