Interesting game. By the way you'll start with just 1 character regardless of your difficulty and getting more costs fame and money and since playing with just 1 character seems like it'd get boring really fast I'd recommend picking an "easier" option and just not getting more characters until you feel like you'll need to. Also the starting resources seem pretty minor since all of the options are less than what you'll get from most maps and the main thing is wether yoou can replay a map but interestingly that's also a thing that you could choose just not to use even if you selected it.
