Is it possible to lower the enemy starting levels on Gold?

[DeathByWallOfText 5]

Hello, this time a little question - I would like to start a new character directly on Gold (pureHD allows this), as Silver felt quite easy throughout the main campaign (at least as Vampiress) even though I was really rusty and making things up as I went. However, I tested this and it seems all enemies on Gold have at least level 36 or so - which means they are absolutely impossible to fight at level 1.

Is there any way to modify this, so it's challenging but, you know, doable? I know Sacred 2 has a configuration file where it's possible, and I would like the same here - without having to mess with exporting, stashing items etc., just a fresh new game on Gold with enemies starting on a similar level.

Thanks in advance for any help!
