Read this thread thinking I was playing with a normal bot starting out.
In the early stages of the game I had to quit and restart since my mentality was not used to something new but after giving it go multiple times, its manageable now.
- Sandbox: Getting the gist of how things work.
- Very Easy: Become familiar with build order.
- Medium: Crude gameplay need improvement.
- Hard: Where I'm at, currently doing fine but I'm still 10 pop a minute.
When I'm comfortable with Very Hard difficulty then I'll transition to Petra expecting steep challenge.
Just now I checked that, the default bot was Petra??? Whelp... its a fine AI, medium difficulty is similar to how playing a normal campaign in my many-many RTS journey.
Its normal for it to be difficult when one start something new~
Have a great day/night.
