Difficulty Level will adjust the number and type of NPC enemies
There are three difficulty level settings for the player campaign. In order to create a range of challenges two tiers of NPC combat units can be sent to attack your defenses. Each unit has some health value, weapon damage, range, and rate of fire which makes it more or less challenging to defeat. There are also some specific behaviors for these NPC's strategy and targeting. At the easiest level some of the Elite units may never be sent against you at all.
