Thoughts about Difficulty

Just pick impossible. The game is hard in the beginning but gets easy after first four islands. Struggle through the first islands and then the difficulty should be good for you. At least that's my theory.

They could add double fights as well. Kind of like how ... erm.. no spoiler hider?

kind of like how eric helps you with the last fight, he gets an army and you get one. If they added in, at random, enemies that teamed up against you on some sort of split-path deal then it would also create a new challenge.

Eh, if you want harder King's bounty, play heroes of might and magic. The addition of enemy heroes and an AI faction that is actively trying to kill you makes it much harder in my opinion. Plus that game cheats like the dickens on harder AI.

That said, I like the no pressure aspect of King's Bounty much better. I just wish the "sweet spot" where I've got a good army and am winning all my fights with adequate challenge lasted longer. Seems to me in WotN the "victory lap" is way too long to stay enjoyable.

Agreed. Im now at late-game and regret picking normal :/

Impossible is the way to go. Specially on vanilla. You may want to restart on that level... or try out Expensive, for instance. A very well rounded mod that balances every aspect of the game.
