What is the difference between easy, moderate, hard, and expert? I noticed that your faction has more flourins at the beginning of the game, but is there a difference in the battles? Is playing the English on moderate really the same difficulty as playing the Polish on easy?
Well I've only beaten it on Easy (woot Complete Victory!) but it must cheat in your favor as far as loyalty and heirs because I never had problems with succession, heirs or coups although I made little or no effort to marry off my Emperor's progeny.
Easy has reduced AI, and several factors in your favor (like alliances, heirs, etc)
Moderate is full AI, but no bonus to your enemies.
Hard and expert gives your enemies additional money, and several factors are against you (very hard to get an alliance, on auto-resolve you loose lots of troops, etc)
This is as far as I know, please correct me if I am wrong.
