I am playing my first game of SC2 as the AXIS, using Thrawn's Mod, on the lowest diffulty, and AI experience bonus of 0. It is April, '41, and only Russia and the US stand against the AXIS now. After Russia declared war on the AXIS in '40, it's been beaten back handily. I guess the US may enter the war in a big way sometime, but so far everything is pretty easy.
What is considered 'normal' for diffuclty and experience settings by experienced players? Should I just go to the max for both?
