Summary0017194: Rogue frequency keyed from strategic difficulty, but not saying so in the tooltip?
DescriptionI just started my first game using another difficulty than Normal (on Nightmare and using the Boarines just for the heck of it) and was (happily) surprised to have been attacked by rogues within the first 100 turns multiple times.

Is monster/rogue frequency already influenced/set by startegic difficulty?
The strategic difficulty tooltip does say nothing in that regard. The fact it only mentions the available crowns and population at game start never made me try something else than the default.

Had I known that I could make the early game much more interesting simply by selecting a higher difficulty I would have done this - a long time ago :-\.

So, is this just a clarity/tooltip issue?
Or did I stumble over a bug/something working as intended ;D?

Yep, it is changed by that. There are about 40 undocumented things that change between difficulties. All that stuff is going to be broken out into a new way of setting difficulties (including custom ones) coming up later.
