User blog comment:Blappp/Scenario difficulty changing after loading a game in AoE II HD?/@comment-27274076-20161228144819

Good thing I read this, just now.. The day before yesterday, I reloaded a scenario because the first try I was just doing a little scouting (I often instantly save a scenario after start to do exactly that), and like 15 minutes later I had to check whether I accidentally had the wrong difficulty chosen, but I said hard..

Maybe the very scenario I played that day (Unconditional Loyalty) was a particular easy one (the new ones all seem a lot easier than the AoF and some AoA ones), but it did feel conspiciously easy. Maybe it's because of the saving, but in any case, you are not the only one feeling that way.
