## Description:


https://www.reddit.com/r/Openfront/comments/1qquvdg/difficulty_scaling_in_single_player/
People seem to feel that easy is not easy enough, even after the various
nerfs in multiple places.
So let's touch DefaultConfig.

## Please complete the following:

- [X] I have added screenshots for all UI updates
- [X] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [X] I have added relevant tests to the test directory
- [X] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full
responsibility for any bugs introduced
