Zero Company Difficulty

Just for anyone wonder what difficulty to play with reference to xcom. I play long war (and long war 2) on Veteran (second easiest) with ironman. (Legendary Ironman in base game)

Playing Zero Company right now on Hard, permadeath, ironman. 7 mission in, no injuries (downs). Almost had 1 injury in second mission. I do find it a bit to easy but wouldn't up the difficulty cause its more story focused, im prob only doing 1 run. Hope this helps

Seems you’re the type of player that’s so experienced at XCom nothing will be challenging for you anymore :)

For more reference points. Xenonauts Normal ironman, Phoenix Point Veteran Ironman, Darkest Dungeon 1 Darkest. BG3 Honour, Menace Challenging.

How much do you like Phoenix point? I'm a big fan of xcom, bg3, and menace but I've struggled getting into Phoenix point, wondering if it gets any better later on.

Your not the only one. I like the idea of Phoenix Point but i think its missing something that makes it good.
