Good evenni everyoe! after posting this, and havin rad the related answer, in the following post i was wondering about the difficulty level curve in xpiratez; waht is the value range, if any? Thanks

To me, difficulty is more about knowing the right tactics. Watch some let's plays of piratez, to see if you can learn something.

At Jack Sparrow, every enemy gets an extra +20% armor, has more reactions, more TU and better accuracy. And there are a lot more enemies. Better start from a low difficulty and raise it if you don't feel challanged.

The game is balanced with the third difficulty in mind, I believe.  It would be nice if you could have the enemy units set to 3 but enemy spawns set to 5, or mess with other factors.

Yes, moreover i noticed when player choose a difficulty level starting a new game from scratch, the saved gam files for that game are always one step back, eg saved a game started at "jack sparrow" level but in the .sav file difficuly serms to be set at 4, there is a strings that read

Code: [Select]

difficulty = 4 so actually it ranges between 1 or 5 five ir do exist higher values?

Almost everything in OpenXcom is 0-indexed, so difficulty ranges from 0 to 4.
