Ridiculous setting seems much harder now

Just emailing to let Stardock know that ridiculous setting is much harder now so I'd like to thank you guys for beefing up the challenge - I havent been able to come close to beating it yet and I also noticed there is another difficulty setting beyond ridiculous now

For now I'm going to stick to expert setting as I've had my ass handed to me twice in a row now on ridiculous.

Has anyone else noticed an increase in difficulty? Has anyone actually beaten it on insane setting yet?

Never tried it. I can barely make it through a game on normal. I screwed up last night on my second game last night, but the one before the wild creatures finished me off in a brutal way.

There's an insane setting? Thanks for the info.

Oh, and ridiculous is harder now because even the monsters are getting x2 hps. It's still trivial to beat with a self-buffing fighter, as long as you remember to take scout master. Not for the monster immunity, for the quicker travel through forests and rivers.

I'm off to try insane. With a ridiculously broken custom race... let's see master scout, binding and enchanters, to start with

I was trying it out with Verga and the Trogs and it takes ages before he gets juggernauts and special axes. I noticed all the monsters get loads of hps (which limits early expansion) but also the other factions tech up and develop really fast and the warband compositions seem more effective too.

Good luck on insane, I guessing it will be very tough
