Your starting difficulty level

[Magraev]

I voted for normal/normal, but looking at the replies I might try hard/normal or even expert/normal If I feel I can handle it. The strategic part of MTW and STW were always the easiest for me.

It all depends on the balance. If I get thrashed repeatedly I'll lower the diff. and If it's a cakewalk I'll increase it.

normal/normal to start with, if I find it too easy I'll crank it up higher.
