SUMMARY:
(holds for all hexplore it products)

1. scale opponent by hero and game difficulty.
Let GD = game difficulty = 1-6 (for starter=1 ... epic=6);
Let h = #heroes (count hexclusive as 2, rare as 3);
OHM = opponent health modifier = 1/4 (GD=1), 1/3(GD=2), 1/2 (GD=3), 1 (GD=4), 2 (GD=5-6).
opponent health = printed health * h * GM;
OE (oppo energy) = printed energy * GD /3;
OMC (oppo mastery cost) = printed OMC * GD;
Finally, add opponent level to opponent health & to opponent energy.

2. auto game difficulty:
game start: shuffle the Power Up stack.
LEARNER: split Power Up stack in 2 parts.
EXPERIENCED: 3 parts;
VETERAN: 4 parts.
flip the bottom card of each part face-up, then stack all parts on top of each other,
to make 1 full stack;

in-game:
whenever you draw a power up card, if it is faceup, interrupt the game and increase the game difficulty (this event does not rewrite rewards gained as loot);
after resolving a PU card, place it on the discard pile(face up) next to the PU draw deck.
when the PU draw deck is depleted, use the current discard pile as the new draw deck, and the bottom of the new draw deck should be face up.

For beginner gameplay this means Starter-Easy on half the PU deck, Easy-Moderate at the end of the PU deck, and so on.

3. adaptive quests (fragment destinations):
only draw quests that are on the map;
since there are no Ruins (or Wayposts) in the quadrant, you will need to seek them out first.
the what was that/bezzelquark on the bottom;
Add cards if map enlarges during gameplay, then shuffle draw deck.

4. Adaptive Circumstance deck:
#Encounter cards = game difficulty number ( Starter=1). NE cards fill up the rest.
slot hex is a non-event, if it is empty.
slot hex is the discard pile for both E and NE cards.
Depleted E deck or NE deck: use the discard pile as the new.

5. Adaptive Encounters:
Each encounter has two terrain types that make it Dangerous.
This is listed as a table sorted by level, then alphabetically encounter name, along with the terrain types that add to it being Dangerous.

6. true solo:
card refers to another hero = interpret as yourself;
card refers to any ally = yourself OR if with escort/pet, that ally.
DK: you start with 48 gold, half food, and 3 power up cards.
FoA: you start with the usual 6 draws for starting out. And the two charms, and quick mode.

7. Small correction:
Game starts without HEXTiles (I misread this).
DK does not start in a Ruin, it starts as per RAW, on any city. That first city gives him his bonus movement (1 per city).

=
SPECIFIC TO DK
=
5. adaptive encounters:
N vs NE cards. fill bar such that F E cards, F=#FC;
hex = discard pile = initially empty. Refill N/NE from discard;
Encounter dangerous if on its habitat.

6. DK & FC
DK appears on ruin, not city, with an initial speed of 1;
DK not appear = blocker on quest deck;
already FC: range increases when a new city falls;
moving into hex covered within FCR = Energy drain;
Ability rank penalty = #FC.

=
SPECIFIC TO FOA
=
5. same as DK, different habitat table;
6. Abilities are -Game difficulty. FC already penalizes skills.

Enjoy!
