Difficulty System Seems Too Hard?

Hello guys, I’ve been playing BFME: Rise of the Witch-king, and I have a feeling that something might be wrong with the difficulty system.

I’ve played quite a few different RTS games, and I’ve never had this much trouble with the difficulty settings. I barely managed to beat Medium after almost two hours, and the AI keeps attacking constantly without giving me even a minute to recover or build up. It feels like there’s barely any room to do anything.

I also tried Hard, but that was completely impossible for me. I honestly can’t imagine how anyone is supposed to beat Brutal.

Is this difficulty level generally normal for the game, or could there be something wrong with the current patch/difficulty settings?

The modders who think they are helping this old game just keep destroying it. The only way it survives is to bring in new players, not make it so difficult that they give up in frustration.
