Chronicles Is Too Easy?

I’m playing Chronicles Battle for Greece and it seems super easy. I’m playing on Hard and I went through Missions 1 and 2, and I thought it was a little strange how easy it was, but they are not missions where you build buildings. So I got to Mission 3 (Ionian Revolt) and I realized that if you build a Fort, the AI has no answer. So I skipped Mission 4 and went to Mission 5, same thing, if you build a fort, the AI has no answer. So I stopped playing because I am not going to play something that is that easy.

It’s confusing to me because I thought that the Mountain Royals on Hard was fairly difficult. I’m not particularly good at the game. So why is this expansion so easy to the point of being boring?

So do I have some kind of glitch or is it really that easy?

It gets more challenging later on. I only played the first 8 and i’d say the 7th one is definitely a step up in difficulty for me, and I found the 8th a bit challenging but mostly because the hints don’t mention vital information that if I were to play it again i’d probably find it quite a bit easier.

But I’ve been told that the missions get harder later on.

Thank you for replying!

Well if they do get harder that is good. I played the seventh one on Hard and it was kind of hard, almost lost first try. (And I reloaded saves a few times). I liked that mission.

I really found Mission 3 to be strange because I feel like once you get a castle up you are invincible. Just seemed weird.

While this is true, I don’t think it’s a problem. You don’t start in Castle Age (or its equivalent – Classical Age?) or with enough stone to build a castle. So yes, the winning strategy is fairly obvious, but you still actually have to do something to execute it.

My main concern about the missions so far is not the difficulty, but that the gameplay is just quite boring. They seem well-made but poorly designed. I’ve only played the first three though, so hopefully they will improve later.

They will improve, and challenging. By a lot!

So far I recommend treating first five mission as uneventful.

Some people like easy games and they can be hard to find.

There are different difficulty settings for a reason.
Easy should be easy snd hard should be hard.
