What do the difficulty levels mean?

[WG]

What exactly is the difference between "Normal," "Hard," and "Very Hard"? The manual doesn't explain.

welcome to the forum, was on the beta and tbh i'm not to sure what it does in regards to difficulty either, so hopefully a developer will reply and answer your question for you

I saw difference in AI activity ... on Normal level was AI more passive

Oh thats interesting.
I thought the AI was a little passive at times, or made stupid choices. Wasnt even aware the Difficulty was a setting

Yes it is a little more passive on Normal but that's about the only difference that I've seen. After playing so many WW2 games? This game is a good relief. Just wish I could win sometimes.

Hi Guys,

The different difficulty level change the AI behavior slightly and also changes the "Retreating thresholds" for enemy troops. This mean that on Very hard, the AI is fighting better and is more resilient because it has more troops to fight with.
