### ▶ ISSUE EXPERIENCED

👇 _DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD._  
I setup the game in multiplayer with a friend and a bunch of AI.  
We play and save the game, come back the next day to finish and the difficulty goes from hardest to Extreme  
Happens everytime now. Never used to happen  
Since we suck, we can’t win against extreme so we never finish a game anymore.

- Less than **25%** of the time / matches I play (RARELY)

Happens 100% of the time,
