I know this is a matter of preference, but honeslty i don´t know where to start... on Vanilla i play on VH/VH but i know EB is a lot harder than Vanilla...
So i want to know the Developers/Modders, what setting is the recommend it?
What is the difficulty you play/test the mod.... you know to get best of EB.
Camp map is balanced on VH and it is recomended. Battle diff recomended is Medium because AI is not having bonuses that unbalance unit stats.
I play VH\H for bigger challenge.
VH battles are to unrealistic for me.
EB recommended setting is VH\M.
doesn't difficulty levels for battles influence AI behavior during conflicts?
I had thought that it did
I just had a stalemate with a faction, playing M/M. I couldn't expand anymore and my enemies were crowding around. (embarassed)
If I take a faction I'm handy with, I'll play H/M usually. But that's just me.
I usually did h/h
I was told that rebel involvement increases as the difficulty rose and I couldnt handle rebels forming in a province with 200 + loyalty so I stopped at h/h.
I never had a stalemate until I played on h/h... I think EB will change this
I play on h/h or h/m. Too many rebels on vh.
Interesting... i though EB memebers played on the same level, but since Teleklos Archelaou and Lordbula play on different levels this mean no Default level for EB :(
I´m going to leave the Campaign on VH, and the battles i´m going to try Medium, since the few battles i fought on M with a 1:1 ratio were a Heroic victory.
But i have 1 more question, how can you Mod/balance a game if the mod play on different level?...
if I play on H, on the campaign map, the player who play on M will have a different opinion of how hard the game is... Just a thought.. not a complain.
I play on M coz I'm a wus. EB officially suggests VH/M I believe.
If anyone thinks they can make me play on VH/M, they can go ahead and try.
It depends on faction I suppose. Playing Makedonia on VH/M is not a big problem.
Sarmatians on the other hand ... well, rebels nearly crushed me(nearly, because I quit having 30 000 debt and few units left against full stacks of rebels)
We want EB to play well on all difficulties, we recommend VH/M as the general setting, but there's no reason not to change the settings to make the game play in a way you perfer. Having team members play on different settings helps us make sure there aren't serious balance on them (other than the one's CA hardcoded in).
Yes, it is true i didn´t realize that... Good point.
Well, i´m going to try a VH/VH, as i did play on Vanilla... i guess i´m going to get crushed... but oh well...
If not i´m going to settle on VH/H, i already tried VH/M and the only reason why i don´t like is coz 1:1 fights are still on my favor... i want a 1:1 fight to be a 50% 50% and not 70% 30% as it is on M difficulty.
I go for vh/m... for some reason, EB is the one game where I actually feel pleased when I'm getting smashed around. But, I wouldn't want an advanced battle difficulty, because, as far as I can tell, all it does is allow their stats a bonus. The ai seems good enough at getting chevrons and stars in the games I've played anyway ;) Oh and I suspect that the happiness ratings in towns don't include the slaves and bandits, who will probably always have a portion who are miserable no matter what the government does. There seem to be hordes of armed mercenaries roaming the countryside at any time, so I figure sometimes they just get aggressive. :)
I play on VH/VH. All the stat bonuses the AI gets combined with the enormous time/money involved in building an army. Create a huge importance on strategically killing your opponent. Those pyrretic victories truly becomes a loss. It adds alot of pre planning needed for pre marrius Romani when campagning far from home. Steady large losses creates many problems. Patch rocks Btw, Rome finally has the +3 morale bonus.
Just out of curiosity - what does this refer to?Quote:

Means that they have the government building, and that wonder which adds another 1 morale.
