So does VH campaign give the AI free money or something? Or does it lower their recruitment/maintenance costs or something?

I've always kind of felt like it does but never had any hard proof to say so.

Gives every AI faction 10,000 bonus mnai every turn - in addition to that given by the economy script to stop them going bankrupt. And not taking into account the script that replaces population losses through recruitment.

I guess 10000 per turn makes sense for vanilla... where units are cheap.

Not sure how 10000 mnai per turn in EB revenue results in stacks and stacks of elites though... you could only train a 3-6 per turn on 10k and upkeep would let you maintain maybe 10-20 elite units...

I guess I'm wondering when people say playing on VH campaign they get stacks and stacks of elites thrown at them... I've never had that... there tend to be more elites but it's usually not much more.. and by the time everyone's economy develops that 10k isn't exactly significant..

In my first Roman campaign I did M/M, but I gave up by 130 BC because I screwed up by not remembering to activate the script so I never got reforms, and I also just started off too slowly since it was my first time playing. However, I still probably would've been screwed because Carthage and Sweboz each created gigantic empires by that time and were assaulting me with army after army every single turn. That got annoying, not to mention somewhat unrealistic, so I started a new campaign at E/M and it seems to be playing out much more realistic. You guys must be awesome at this game to be going at VH/VH Sadly I'm not that good
