Look a ‘AoE2DE\widgetui\textures\menu\icons’ folder and you’ll see the icons called difficulty_medium.png & difficulty_hard.png are swapped.
atm:
1 sword is easy
2 swords is hard
3 swords is medium
expected:
1 sword is easy
2 swords is medium
3 swords is hard
see above
Everyone has been jebaited by the devs 
Genghis Khan campaign doesn’t seem “1 sword” level.
If this is true it’s a pretty major screwup and I hope they fix it quickly.
Reminds me of the original X-Com. It had like eight difficulty levels but there was a bug so no matter what you picked it was ‘hardest’ level.
Thank you for the report, we have now fixed this for the next update.
Seriously?
■■■■, I will look again to see if the 2 swords campaign were really harder. But it makes sense that some campaign are harder or easier than expected.
