Question about difficult level and about the monthly update (news)

(1/2) > >>

Kobold:
When i start a new campain there i can choose between the different difficult level, what exactly means this? the fight between airships and ufo's or the combat in battlescape or both?

and my other question is about the news, i read in the news message (Monthly update for April, 2012) and i found a intresting thing about the AI improvement (AI checks now also for clear line-of-fire before shooting).
Are the news infos (Monthly update for April, 2012) from 2.5dev or from 2.4? or 2.4dev? and how can i download it?

The difficulty level does not affect airfight or battlescape missions. But it affects at which point in the game the aliens start to use better (and probably more dangerous) equipment.

There is no more 2.4.dev. News is usually for the last dev version, which is ATM 2.5.dev

Campaign difficulty also effects the number of recruits you start the game with, the minimum level of nation happiness before you lose, the credits you start with. Here's the list of campaigns in the UFO file:
