Bushland the RPvE preset you are playing, has always been a set of Bandit and Stonekin enemies. This set uses mostly bandit units but almost all if not all buildings are Stonekin. This is in contrast to the pure Bandit preset Cactusland. So this is probably all in order. I have to admit that I did not see any distinction between the visuals of Bushland and Cactusland, so that is perhaps where the confusion comes from. Bushland Sample Cactusland Sample

I just uploaded my personal testing map. In this you can test the live version of every fire rpve boss.

Thank you for your feedback. The things you mentioned are things I have experienced as well while testing. The set also falls off a cliff if you have the Incredible Mo and Wheel of Gifts; the combined damage reduction is insane vs a faction that relies only on damage. But I am sure you will acknowledge that every faction in RPvE has different difficulties as bandits are notoriously the weakest. The aim was to open up a lot of strategies that don't revolve around meta cards like Frenetic, Infect or Wheel of Gifts, for example, as those cards are expensive and 'should' make maps easier. They should not trivialize the maps that I grant you. That all while staying true to the core idea that fire itself has no real cc. We tried to have Gladiatrix disenchant allies, but that did not work, and I am back to the drawing board on that matter. We may buff the boss / normal units in the future. The goal was to have the difficulty be somewhere between Bandit and Twighlight, as I am sure that the coming factions will probably be harder than fire because they will use cc and healing on a larger scale.
