Epic 6: Intro
This is an Always War event - which is not a game type I think I've every played before. Given I'm a builder at heart this shouldn't be too surprising 
The difficulty level is dropped to Noble, but I think (from what I've read) that this just makes it difficult as opposed to impossible to win …
