Thanks Mordred, whether it actually registers the difficulty change or not-- its still a bug. Good points Tex and Lavos. Yes I have tried it on different levels, but not scientifically. I played several 5k games at VERY HARD and MEDIUM and and didn't notice any difference. My troops and the enemies fought for longer than they should have at VERY HARD, and fought for the same length of time on MEDIUM.
At 5k any morale differences should be magnified, not reduced-- so I should have noticed something.
Anyway, I'm just reporting what I see, not conducting a test. If you watch carefully when you select NEXT it changes back to MEDIUM before you see the next screen, the other settings on that page don't change themselves-- just Difficulty. This is what it was doing pre-patch, and it didn't work-- Its not very encouraging.
I'll play some 15k's on various settings (Easy vs. Very hard), next time I get a chance to play (which is rarely)...
I hope I'm wrong, but to me it doesn't look like this problem is fixed. Somebody proove me wrong, please.
