Shit up, fag. Here's an example of Artificial Difficulty.

>Walking along
>Suddenly fall through a trapdoor
>There was no indication there was a tr there
>There was no way you could have avoided it without having prior knowledge it was there

That's artificial difficulty.

How to implement non artificial difficulty in turn based combat?

Turn based games always throw some shit at you that can only be defeated by a lucky crit or grinding.

It's not inherently bad, and often serves as a learning mechanism for the player, but it's still something which relies solely on your lack of knowledge to achieve it's goal of fucking you. If it isn't based on skill or something which would be unavoidable without prior knowledge, its artificial difficulty.

Pretty much this, thanks. So tired of half the board shouting "artificial" at anything over not liking it or being too legitimately hard for them.
