Custom Difficulty on IOS

[NumberOneBSUFan]

Hi all, one thing that I would like to see added to this game is being able to customize your difficulty on IOS. Does anybody know if this is already possible?

Certainly on PC, not sure about ios

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't appear that it is available on IOS, hope they make it available though.

There was a rumor of an IOS patch to be available in June that was to add the missing features such as custom difficulty. That obviously did not happen but there has been no word when, or even if, it will be available. It would be nice as I've found some of the DLC to be unplayable, at least for me, under 1.22 rules and prestige cap and have been waiting on the mythical patch to be able to do the custom difficulty settings that would make them more playable.

Yes, it would be nice if someone from Slitherine could chime in about this patch, to tell us whether it's just delayed or if it's in fact been abandoned. I'm holding off really playing the game wholesale until this fix comes down the pipe. IIRC also it wasn't simply a "rumor" but actually an announcement from one of the mods or devs?

And kverdon, as someone who hasn't played the GC yet, which DLC/campaigns do you find unplayable and why? Is this a WAD thing and just a high level of difficulty, or do you think there were unintentional semi-gamebreaking results of some of the rule tweaks in the latest version?

As far i know the patch is still planned but due to legal reasons related to the timely release of the Warhammer 40k game that the same team is developing the patch was postponed until they meet the deadline.

Good to know.

The GC DLC's were designed under the 1.14 rules and rely on high enemy unit density to provide a challenge against strong player cores. The prestige cap now limits the size and strength of player corps now but the DLC's were not rebalanced to adjust to this. With the prestige cap, I found DLC 1944 West very difficult and DLC 1945 West impossible due to just running out of prestige and having Cores that were a shadow of their 1.14 selves. This was after beating both DLC Grand Campaigns East/West at Field Marshall. Adding the ability to customize the difficulty and/or use the 1.14 rules will make these playable on the IPAD.

Thanks,

Kevin

Ah, thanks. Are the devs on record about possibly rebalancing the GC expansions? I've purchased them but am holding off playing because I keep hearing stuff like this. A challenge is welcome, but not a hopeless one brought about by lack of adjustment for mechanics changes...

There has never been any mention of redoing the Grand Campaigns to make them more playable under 1.21. I would not hold off waiting on that. If you are going to play them on IOS you will just have to hope that they actually do someday release the patch that let's you customize the difficulty. That does not appear to be happening anytime in the near future though .

Hopefully after Warhammer 40k they'll get around to it.
