Difficulty

[John Henry Eden]

I'm getting back into HOI2 and just got 1.3 for Arma.

I seemed to have forgotten what the difficulty levels really do, I know some add res or make the enemy army stronger but I'm not sure and I cannot find a chart or posting on what each difficulty offers.

If someone can post them or point me in the right direction that would be great.

Thks.

from what I have noticed a mixture of lower manpower, lower IC and harder battles, there may be more than this though, quite likely trade modifiers etc

The biggest difference in the levels is the amount of IC you get, and the amount of IC the AI gets. At normal, no plus-ups or malus on either side. then things shift up or down from there.

The penalties and advantages of the various settings are listed in the Armageddon/db/difficulty.csv file

Can I make Very Easy even easier by changing those values in the csv file? I don't usually do this kind of thing but I did look at that file and it seems I could just change the values - say double whatever they were. Would that do it or would I wreck the game - making a copy of the file would be sensible before I monkey around.
