In the way this game works, that's not something that is easy to work around, which is also why I didn't want to go too crazy in the difficulty. What I mean is that sometimes you get some lucky events in the game and you get orcs that grow very strong or some good witches or you get a bunch of dwarves, and then after equipping them very well the game becomes easy. But sometimes you don't get lucky, you might lose someone or your level-ups aren't the best or you get some hard events too soon, and then that same challenge which is easy sometimes can be near impossible at others.
If you're auto-resolving krakens that just means you managed to build a good group, which is fine in this game because it feels great when you get lucky, but sometimes you don't and the game can be very challenging.

Thank you for the answer. I'll check the mod latter since I am kinda new to the game and still make some stupid mistakes sometimes. One more question: for how long does this difficulty curve persist, since at some point in game I auto-resolve even kraken?

I gotta say, I'm not exactly sure the loot stays the same. It might give you more stuff.
But unfortunately I'm pretty sure the xp is the same. I think it's worth noting that I don't think I made the game too hard, just challenging enough so you don't hit auto-resolve all the time.
I don't recommend the mod if you're starting the game with a weak group, though.

Hi, if the loot stays the same, does it increase exp gain?

from what I noticed, no. It just means more enemies.

does more enemies mean more loot?

this mod is in very early stage, I just overall pumped a lot of enemy groups in the game
I want to get a few playthroughs after next patch and further work in this mod then
give me some time
also, I don't want to push the hardness too far, I want to be careful not to ruin any runs

Make it even harder please

Keep going, needs to be pumped up even more.

Just did

Make it even harder please
