Sorry for the terrible video quality, but just to show how bad I'm doing:


I tried building more peasants first, then more archers first, then a barracks first. Kept my healthy guys in the front lines, less healthy guys in the back. Had all my peasants working. But I just got overwhelmed each time.

Edit: Wait a minute! I just now tried the "easier" mode, and it gave me 4 peasants instead of 2!  I thought "friendly" was easier? I also noticed that "Hard" mode gave me 2 peasants, the same as "friendly" mode. Maybe the two plugins were mixed up?


sorry, my bad buddy. I corrected it now, +2 peasants and +2 footmen in human2.

The difficulty is balanced out on my own experience and had no other testers to have around. Version 8.7 is released now with that little rebalance

Thanks for uploading the fix!  I'm afraid this is just too difficult for me, however.  On Human mission #3, I spent all 40,000 Gold just trying to defeat Orange on the starting island. It was very hard, especially with the guard tower behind trees and constant attacks from Red. I had to build 2 barracks and deplete all my resources. I had to save/load about 20 times. I finally defeated Orange and realized I haven't even built a Shipyard yet (I'm not sure I have enough gold now for 4 oil platforms and a shipyard). Lol.

These look really fun, but I think the difficulty of your Upgraded Multitileset version is more balanced! I might return to playing that version.

Thanks for your effort!

It was Friendly mode (I wouldn't dare try the other modes!). It's hard to defend the base with no Towers and both Orange and Red attacking. I tried killing Orange at the start of the game, but the guard tower behind the trees stopped me (plus Red comes in shortly after).  I think Orange needs to be much easier.  I'm not even sure if ships were trying to attack me on the coast or not, since I never got far enough to build a Shipyard after about 10-15 minutes of playing.
