:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. The campaigns are way too difficult on the Story difficulty level, which should be a level where you can enjoy the game’s story and have an easy gameplay experience. Now, playing is often impossibly hard as the enemy multiplies at a terrifying rate and is sometimes very aggressive and destructive. There’s hardly any difference between the Story and Standard difficulty levels. Additionally, even though I selected Story difficulty in the campaign, when I save the game, it shows that the AI is on Standard level and even the game speed is set to Casual, despite having chosen Slow, etc.

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: *What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?*The campaigns would be enjoyable to experience without needing to be a hardcore player. The STORY difficulty should truly live up to its name and be noticeably easier.
