What is campaign mode?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hi, I'm new.

So far I've played a couple of sandbox games at an easy level to familiarise myself. I was wondering whether to try the campaign? - There's not much about it in the manual.

I guess it's a sequence of scenarios of increasing difficulty. Is that right? Are they structured like a tutorial to gradually introduce some of the game's more complex features? Is the experience much different from playing sandbox games?

Thanks,

The first few missions are very basic and introductory-like. Then you run into the dreadlords and find yourself fighting just to stay alive :D

In the campaign the scenarios are whatever difficulty you want, although the ones with the Dreadlords I found a lot harder.

I started the campaign a few time ago... By default, game was set to Normal.
I noticed that on the second campaign where you have to fight the Dread Lords and only them, the game sets the difficulty to Cakewalk by default...
Is this made on purpose because it's very difficult against them or..?
