Russian term

единицы сложности (скилла?)

Russian to English Other Gaming/Video-games/E-sports ММОРПГ, компьютерные игры
Добрый день всем,

Обращаюсь к знатокам компьютерных игр - нигде не смогла найти ничего похожего. Речь идет о единицах сложности (в контексте кулинарного скилла), если таковые существуют. Фраза такая:

Приготовление блюд сложности выше 60 единиц невозможно

Заранее большое спасибо!

60+ difficulty / difficulty 60 or above

Whereas Russian uses единицы for grammar purposes, English just combines numbers with nouns without any 'units.'

Of course, you may need to refer to 'difficulty points' in some contexts, if absolutely necessary.

Complexity may be an alternative term for сложность.

Do you have any more context, by chance?
I think this sentence implies that meals have a difficulty level that's different from the player's cooking skill, though obviously related somehow.

Do you have any more context about the cooking skill / meal preparation in the game you're translating?

It's just a hunch, but I think meal difficulty may be a separate concept from the player's cooking skill, though obviously somehow related.

Oh, sorry for adding the same comment twice! I thought it failed to submit the first time.

If there is usually a 1-to-1 correlation between cooking skill and meal difficulty, you could say:

Meals requiring over 60 cooking skill cannot be prepared at this time

Otherwise, if сложность приготовления IS a separate parameter of every meal in the game and not related 1-to-1 to cooking skill, then you'll need to come up with a term for it. Complexity or difficulty would be your choices. In either case, however, 'points' are superfluous as I explained earlier.
Note from asker:
Да,большое спасибо! Контекста мало, речь идет о "кухонном блоке" замка: "Кухонный блок дышит на ладан, приготовление блюд сложности выше 60 единиц невозможно". Т.е. речь не о скилле игрока, а о состоянии кухонного блока.
Peer comment(s):

agree Yulia Savelieva : 60 points// I meant I would say "difficulty of 60 points or above" or something like that.

skill

That's how it is said in English. Food has different skill levels, e.g. omelette = 20, steak = 40, etc. Usually you just say such and such requires such and such skill to cook.
Peer comment(s):

neutral SirReaL : normally yes, but here it seems that meals have a separate parameter that's indirectly linked to the player's cooking skill. whaddaya think? but the skill could be boosted e.g. with an artifact or a buff; while meal difficulty may be a separate concept

I don't read it as being separate at all. The player's skill determines whether they can cook the dish.

complexity level

Complexity level more than 60,
more than 60 on the complexity scale

Not sure about "skill level" but it's possible
