Difficulty

Difficulty levels in OpenFront change the intensity of the game for private and singleplayer lobbies.

When creating a new lobby, several options (such as changing maps and Game Conditions) can be selected by the host. Beneath the map choice is the choice of difficulty. The difficulty ranges between four levels:

• Relaxed (Easiest Difficulty)
• Balanced (Default Difficulty)
• Intense
• Impossible (Hardest Difficulty)

These difficulties do not change how nations act and play the game, they instead change how they get resources directly.

Difficulty modifiers affecting nations

Difficulty	Base Starting Troops	Max Troops Multiplier	Population Growth Multiplier
Relaxed	2,500	0.5x	0.9x
Balanced	5,000	1x	1x
Intense	20,000	1.5x	1.1x
Impossible	50,000	2x	1.2x

Trivia

• While there is a defined "Difficulty Modifier" function with large gaps between difficulty values (1, 3, 9, 18), this value is actually not used anywhere within the source code.
