Love it. Still learning the game, but reference it several times each time I play. Thank you, thank you.

Ah, thank you guys for clearing this up, and creating this thread too. Hope it helps others.
I guess what threw me off is that the number of xeno in the map description correlates to a difficulty rating, and the map itself has a different difficulty rating; but when you start the game, you can adjust both. It just wasn't clear to me.
There are maps with the same number of enemies listed in the game description, but different difficulty ratings; i suppose this is due to the 'type' of xeno races? or just the overall difficulty of the map (xeno placement, etc...)?

Can someone explain the difference between the difficulty settings (easy, normal, hard, etc), and the enemy settings (easy, average, extreme, etc)?
New to the game, so trying to find some easy maps to learn, practice, but choices seem limited. The maps I'm interested in most have a average or hard enemy choice, not easy. I know you can reduce enemy numbers, and set the game map to easy (with game description stating easy AI), but don't understand the correlation between the 2.

same issue for me, did not go into hole (forgot from my last run), went back to heal in osk, had conversation with the lady, she gave 500 reward, then there was an option for a conversation on the "papers we returned with". I then went back down hole and recovered the caravan goods, and returned them, then followed the conversation.

I like the ability to change the location of the OW, gotten used to just tapping close to where I need, then tapping to try out different locations until I find what I want.
Is there a reason why when pulling out veterans (from tactic points), that the newly created veteran is not automatically selected? I've mis-moved the previously used characters several times, even on the same level when pulling out multiple veterans. Grrr. :-)
Is there any interest in an undo button? After above said kind of errors, or an errant move in general, undo would be handy. I've seen other games (Warhammer 40k Armageddon) have an undo capability as long as nothing new was revealed/shot at.
Scenario Picker, or at least an option start on a particular mission level. I know I've finished a level, moved on, and later really, REALLY wanted to try that previous level. Being able to at least start on a particular mission (with average req points) would get me close enough (ex. option to start after the initial deploy). Again Warhammer Armageddon does this well. Many people use the scenario picker to "try" a level, then continue in the campaign game. The flexibility to respec Templars would be a great way to try things out too on a scenario, then use it on your campaign.
More branch offs within missions. Different types of scenarios to ultimately complete a particular mission. a)Integrating humans on a long march from the countryside, b)invading an alien ship which rams into the palace area, or c)drop ship into the capital area could be 3 scenarios that would increase replay value. Same thing as Ferarei Lance Mission. Of course you would love to have the ability to jump to those missions via a scenario picker to try out the different ones!
Just finished my first playthrough on normal (thanks to ntsheep). Wonderful game! These are just ideas for improving, please don't interperet them as game negatives.

Just finished Templar Battleforce on difficult! Resisting the temptation to replay with the vet team, think I'll wait for some new content :-)
Have yet to unlock beserker, so new game it is!
Happy New Year!

So proud of you guys, strategy game of the year, and 4th place in the fan vote. You've really touched on some great elements with Templar BF, glad you are getting recognition for your hard work and creative minds.

Hey guys, GF and I have been playing your games for quite a while after she turned me on to Trese Brothers Games. ST4X, Templar BF, Heroes of Steel are Top 20 favs on iDevices. I tried Star Traders on iPhone awhile ago, then was recently shown ST on android and was blown away. Really. Went out and purchased an android tablet (Fire HD6) to play around with, but primarily to have access to Star Traders Elite. AMAZING game.
Can't wait til ST2 hits, and want to support your efforts as well. New Patreon Supporter as of tonight.
