Difficulty Setting



The difficulty setting controls the amount of starting resources, the aggressiveness of enemy factions, and the rate of city rebellion. You can always change the difficulty at any time from the options screen. If this is your first time playing Hegemony you may wish to start on Novice while you learn the mechanics.
 * novice
 * normal
 * expert

The player can also control the amount of ressources that are generated: However, these setting effect all factions and not only the player faction.
 * recruitment rate
 * population growth
 * skill research

Another major contributor to difficulty is the Starting Position (being relatively isolated with few neighbours or having to fight on multiple fronts).

More experienced players may also want to increase difficulty by activating one or more of the various AI mods.
