so i have played a few of the questlines most notably the capture 9 realms questline , got through most of this but today i noticed a strange thing, troops spawn literally in thin air , what is this? artificial difficulty? was this something the celeste team added or was it always this way? seems a bit like a way to artificially boost the AI which btw is not needed on these quests as they have 6 town halls so a LOT of troops to get through, just curious as i often wondered why my opponent is slamming 100 troop waves constantly even though im wittling down town halls and production buildings.
 
It's not new to Celeste, and if you do old quests (Greeks/Egyptians/Celts) you can see the same thing - Troops will just spawn on set timers. This adds an additional layer of difficulty because, by themselves, the AI tend to be pretty bad at being aggressive.
