Thanks for taking a look at the game! I'm glad you enjoyed the game's presentation and the character customization :D Regarding the difficulty: The Normal difficulty is built with players who have never played a strategy game before in mind, and who may not have a good concept of what their level of strategic ability is. I wanted to make sure these players felt welcomed into the game, and to make sure they get the opportunity to experience the fun of character growth, positioning, and forming strategies that we all love about Strategy RPGs. For a player like you, who is clearly a veteran of many strategy games, and has taken the time to understand YoD's mechanics, I'm not surprised it felt a little easy. You can change the difficulty at any time from the settings menu (Settings > Gameplay > Adjust Difficulty), so if you wanted to, you could continue your playthrough on a higher difficulty. For you, I'd recommend bumping it up to Very Hard, or even Extreme if you're looking for a big challenge. Rest assured, that on the higher difficulties these maps are very capable of providing the pressure, threat, and challenge that you're craving! I hope you'll give it a shot! The full seven chapter extended demo is available for everyone to play on Steam right now, so if you want to try it out for yourself, jump on in! I can't wait to show you everything that is planned for the full game
I did not know you could adjust the difficulty on the fly, so that's pretty huge. (Too used to FE where they won't let you do that!) But great work to you and your team for going beyond "just another FE clone" and I'm excited to do a full run in the future!
