The Dark Rising

[plantpaladin]

Still a dip in difficulty after S4, but maybe thats intentional.
Ok Started on Hard and had to use lots of walking corpses and archers for S2 + S3. A few ghouls and bats .
Had to change tactics from heading east early to hold at river in S3. Had to snipe the enemy leader in S2.
Took a few tries and got lucky with some hits, should have recruited some ghosts on S3 after first orc goes down.

S4 Iron Front Perfect balance for hard, dont lose too much crossing river and hurry up to get bosses
S5 A bit easier, still lost some. No error message this time.
S6 Alright scenario and a good change of pace.
S7 Unexpected Encounter Easy scenario, got way too much gold and completly crushed the AI.
S8 The Dwarven Gates. AI got good stuff so not too easy.
S9 Liches and upgraded ghosts do the job and managed to finish on 21. Maybe a few lords or berserkers added on hard?

Finished still belive that there is a drop in difficulty but I did lose some units later on so not as easy as medium.
Ghostline goes up in value as Ai starts recruiting better units and you need to move units more. Cavalry are very situational so i usually dont bother.
S10 Spiders might get a unit or two, nothing too hard.
S11 Probably hardest in since early scenarios, great scenario that feels unique.
S12 Went for really aggressive approach. Killed Necromancer first and then split up to kill dwarves, human, elves and orcs at same time. Got me finished at turn 21 but lost some of my L3. Elven leader got killed by Orcs and Human which also helped kill second Elven leader.
Still think the Elves position make them too weak but scenario isnt too easy if you want good finish bonus.
S13 Still alright but not hard enough for a finale, got 120 gold to spare.

"-Raised the difficulty on all difficulties (gold, income, recruits, etc)"

Is that a raise for all scenarios or just the ones after S4 where difficulty dropped off?

[Paskovski]

After the dip.

Ok Started a new Campaign on Hard, the early scenarios is just as hard as I remember, tried to do elven S4 twice then gave up.
S7 Update seems like a nice foreshadowing on S12 change. Event is a bit of a surprise but elves are not hard pn plains.

[plantpaladin]

Did S12 twice as I wanted atleast one lich for S13 Got lucky with a Draug, interesting scenario as both killing leaders in time with as much internal damage as possible is a nice balance.
Final mission was hard as it should be, sent two bats as distractions and tackled the enemy piecemeal. Cost all my gold and got lucky a few times. Dark Sorcerer + Ghosts + 1 Draug was enough with most ghosts being spectres
Thank you for all the updates!
