What is the difference between Easy and Hard game setting?

If I have my game set at 2X speed then "time" should be the same - right???

Time would be the same in each. There are a lot of differences. A couple are:

Start with a different amount of villagers.
Start with less berry's on the bush.

With out the right strategy, it is tough to make it to level two of farming. Give it a try! Give it a try!

Thanks for the reply. I will try it....now that I have some idea of 'how' to play this game... and when I have enough time to sit and micro-manage at the start of a new game so they don't all starve LOL.

One more question - is there a way to have ONE hard game and all the rest set at easy?

Yep. I’m playing an easy one and a hard one at this time. When you goto the menu and make changes, that will only affect the game you were just in, or the last game you played. It will not affect the other "unopened" games.

Thanks Warren
