Holy shit! Never seen that! I only use the "?" Button on my own troops... this changes EVERYTHING!

*Gasp*! There is a filthy casual among us...

Unless i have a clear idea of what higher difficulty does, i usually play any RTS on normal difficulty. In my experiences, difficulty of RTS is scaled simply by enemy resources, be that throwing around more pylons or units. I always play FPS games of any kind on the maximum difficulty since it pretty much always scales with bullet damage, and taking 20 bullets to the face before having any damage never felt very immersive to me. I rather re-start a game 5 times because 3 bullets killed me. Though this does lead to some weird situations sometimes (looking at you, far cry).

I found the randomness in Xcom enough that i didn't like the thought of facing greater foes. I hated Mutons for their ridiculous size yet being hard to hit. I discovered Mutons have a modifier, i think it was called "fear", that basically reduced hit chances by 30% or so.

Between this and Fallout 4 it's starting to look that the game industry is starting to really embrace modding
