Description
Some new users have reported that the AI is quite hard to beat and would like a version that is between "Sandbox" and "Very easy".

- DanW58 - Very Easy = too hard frustration. (15/Jan/21)
I find Sandbox too easy, and Very Easy too hard. I've installed and uninstalled this game with disgust 3 times already. Could there not be something in-between?
Got a first wave of attacks way too soon, and then two or three minutes later another wave, about twice the size. I find it just impossible to survive. Every time I try to play this I end up quitting the game.
Fighting a super-AI may be fun for people playing at insane level, but I want the AI to be dumb.

- Facochr666 - difficulty setting (11/Feb/21)
But I'm a lousy gamer, I just wanted to build my city, quietly in my corner and go attack when I wanted to, so I put the difficulty at the minimum and I get my face smashed in 20 mins. I know I don't know how to play yet but this is a bit hardcore for me.

11:41 < Thedwarf> ok - I havent tried the easier difficulty - still struggling with the default
11:42 < Thedwarf> still have yet to win a match myself yet - frsch (16/Apr/21)
00:43 < frsch> Hello. I wonder if it is relevant that Sandbox level is too easy but even Very Easy can be much more tricky?)
00:44 < frsch> Very Easy even when Defensive mode is selected, sends me troops since very early

What's the status of this? Can it be closed? I saw the patch referred to in this ticket has been merged.
Wouldn't it be more efficient (time-saver) to just provide a few tips in the tutorial on how to beat an easy AI?
