I generally play in reduced damage mode, because I mostly play this game casually and like the RPG side more than the battles (to battles are great fun too).
But with the new sandbox option, playing with realistic damage becomes more fun, so I wanted to give that a go again.
Personal experience in combat is fun, challenging enough. But most troops are just too dumb for that level, and they manage to get themselves killed with projectiles because they'll just walk onto them and won't employ their shields unless commanded to do so. Their situational awareness is inadequate for that level too. This results in way too many deaths in unlikely situations, like when fighting looters or attacking a hideout with high tier troops.
I think a mode where damage is reduced both for AI troops and player troops would help with making equal-footed battles more fun. I.e., both AI and my party at one third difficulty, so that there are less deaths and battles are more engaging. What do you think?
