I disagree. It's exactly what it says, why is anyone surprised?
The computer players get 4x advantage and at the time the game was made the designers didn't think anyone could beat it. Today, players regularly beat v1.31 on Impossible. Amazing.
At the time, "Impossible" mode was added to give the game additional life for expert players. And that it did. If MoM didn't have Impossible, the game would have long ago been discarded like so many other forgotten strategy games. But, with the extra challenge, it lasted long enough to attract Seravy's attention and he modded it and fixed a ton of bugs and greatly improved the computer players. So, Impossible has been reset to be even further out of reach. Outstanding! Nobody will ever get bored, there will always be another challenge.
So, I have to ask, if you haven't even mastered Hard yet and gotten bored with it, why are you playing on Impossible? Heck, one of the great joys of v1.5 for me was ratcheting down my level to Normal. Wow, playing the game fairly for once! No CP advantages of any kind! Just a straight fight! I heartily enjoyed these games. Now, I'm playing on Hard and it is indeed hard.
