:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

The AI difficulty “Story” always seems to be in “Standed” even when I select the option through the campaign menus, When I load up a save, It will always have “AI difficulty: Standed” In stead of “Story” or is that just normal because when I play the game, it seems harder than the original game, I am constantly being attacked like the game is on hard mode, I am a casual player most of the time and I don’t wanna be constantly attacked all the time. Some missions I can get though okay and other missions I just get slammed.
I just tested it, I first started a mission in "story mode and it says "AI Difficulty: Standed, then I started a campaign mission in "Standed mode and it says the same thing as if it was in “Story Difficulty”.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Pick a campaign
  2. Select difficulty “Story”
  3. Start Game
  4. Save game
    5: Look at “AI Difficulty”

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Make the story difficulty accessible instead of it just being in standed difficulty so the campaigns can be actually decently manageable to play without being constantly pushed and attacked like it is on hard mode.

What language is your game? What is “story” difficulty? Is that the “bronze medal” difficulty? There are only “Standard, Moderate, Hard” difficulties in normal campaigns, and additional “Easiest + Legendary” in this newest China expansion. I think that “standard” actually corresponts to “story” or whatever.

It is the bronze medal yes, but when I am loading up a game on story difficulty, it is saying AI difficulty is standed but when I start a game on standed and load it up, it is the same AI difficulty as Stort difficulty

Also this is on Playstation 5, there is Story, Standed, Moderate and Hard difficulty options..
