HARD | Lord | Difficult | noble-lord.png | No |
Terminology trap. The flavor labels are unit ranks, while the descriptions are player-facing difficulty descriptions. “Fighter” does not mean the preprocessor symbol is anything other than
EASY.Why the description says “20 scenarios”
The source tree contains 27 scenario configuration files, but a complete playthrough contains exactly 20 tactical scenarios:
01, 02, 03, one 04 route, 05, 06, 08, 09, 10, 12,
13, 14, 15, all four 17 quests, 19, 20, 22 = 20 battles
The six non-tactical positions—07, 11, 16, 18, 21, and 23—are cutscenes, hub visits, or the epilogue. Alternate routes and quest files explain why the implementation-file count is 27.
