casse is killing my patience!

[Strategos Alexandros]

You played Casse, one of the most difficult factions, on VH/VH?

Then you shouldn't be surprised you got your arse kicked! I'm surprised you did so well - I got annihilated by the Elutheroi in the first 3 years when I tried that - they attacked and took my starting (and only) city, and I was dead.

Now THAT is what you call being owned by the AI! No-one else in the entire EB community has been beaten that fast!

After that, I only play Casse on M/M!

3 turns with Casse on M/H

Kudos to you strategos for admitting that.

I sometimes play the hard (not the Nigh-Impossible ones) on H/H because of the challenge (campaign on H because of a more reasonable diplomacy AI and no rampaging rambo psychos who won't surrender even if they have NOTHING left ), but VH/VH? That's some kind of fun-killer in my eyes...The gigantic boni for the battle AI is more than ridiculous, while the "Hard"-bonus also is ridiculous of course, but makes the campaigns very challenging, you really start looking out for every one of your units and you notice that your expansion is actually slowed down to AI level...I love not becoming the world's unbeatable superpower in the first 50 years of game gaining hundreds of thousands mnai every turn...

Well, to return somewhat to topic, I myself did manage to survive with Casse on H/H and as soon as you have secured all of Great Britan and Ireland the rest of the campaign is a cakewalk...

If you really want to pull your crazy VH/VH campaign off I highly recommend searching this forum for tips/gameplay guides for the Casse Faction, there happened to be many questions about how to play them
