Once you know what you are doing, it does get a bit easier (though the RNG can still screw you.) I highly recommend using the wiki ( ) as a reference while you learn the game, if you do decide to try it. To the OP, it is a somewhat difficult game because the mechanics are rather opaque, and the RNG can have a fair bit of effect on how well you do. I'd strongly recommend setting it to 'war', as this is a crisis that you can pretty much just ignore if you want to, and only set the crisis to random or one of the other ones when you feel like you've mastered the basic tactics and want a bit more challenge. Unfortunately you can't turn off the late game crisis. If you get the Greenskin invasion or the Undead Scourge, it can easily hit you when you aren't ready. Sounds like you might have left the late game crisis as the default 'random'.

Every encounter became a bloodbath because the enemies were too numerous and too well equipped for my crew to fight against.

Suddenly my crew which I had carefully guided through many quests and missions found themselves utterly unable to win another battle. Felgar: I was enjoying the game a lot until apparently I passed a level trigger or something.
