The game's default difficulty is, in my opinion, exactly what the hard setting should be - very tough, but possible with a lot of planning and skill. I usually pick a normal difficulty setting when I play a certain game for the first time though, and I guess this is what I'd find appropriate (including a few things at the end of the post):
======Medium=====
-Heart capacity: x1
-Domain Damage: -25%
-Predators amount: -25%
-Sister Feed: 3rd Heart -25%, 4th Heart -20% (200,400,600,800 instead of 200,400,800,1000)
-Metabolism Speed: -0%
-Pangolin, Pelican and Worm HP: -25%
-Brother HP: -25%
-Plant Capacity: x1
-Predator HP: -25%
-Tree Capacity: x1
======Easy=====
-Heart capacity: x1
-Domain Damage: -50%
-Predators amount: -50%
-Sister Feed: 2nd Heart -25%, 3rd Heart -50%, 4th Heart -50% (200,300,400,500 instead of 200,400,800,1000)
-Metabolism Speed: -0%
-Pangolin, Pelican and Worm HP: -50%
-Brother HP: -50%
-Plant Capacity: x1
-Predator HP: -50%
-Tree Capacity: x1
I'd recommend the easy setting to a friend (/girlfriend
) who has minimum to no expirience with FPS games or maybe most games for that matter, but was drawn to the game because of it's beautiful design/music/poetry (I know at least 5 people who fell in love with the game upon seeing it, but have insufficient skill in order to enjoy it the way I did
).
If there is a way to adjust the amount of color needed to fill the traps in the gardens, I'd adjust that to: -25% for normal, -50% for easy.
What exactly is meant by tree capacity - the amount of color needed to fill it, or the amount you get from it, or both?
How does the amount of color needed to fill a tree work anyway? Is it linked with a multiplier to the amount of color you get from that tree in the next cycle? If not, how hard would it be to lower the amount needed to fill the tree to the max while leaving the amount you get the way it is now? That would be something I'd lower too, probably by 15%/30% or maybe even 25%/50%.
If there is a possibility of needing less color to travel faster on the map, I'd lower the amount by 15%/30%, but only for the easy setting.
I hope this helps.
