    Default Regarding Difficulty level...

    How do you guys like to play you'r campaigns? i've read that the recommended difficulty level is VH/M..
    Does Medium battle difficulty even out my troops to the AI's? i mean they don't get anymore bonuses?

    Cheers!

    Medium Battle difficulty makes your units and the AI units have the same stats, granted they are the same unit with the same upgrades..etc.

    Hard and Very Hard give the AI iunbalanced stat bonuses making the actual battles much more difficult.

    Ah so Medium battle difficulty is more realistic..... thank for that mate!

    so what type of game does most people here play? i used to play Vh/Vh all the time in vanilla but it seems it's quite difficult to do so in EB.

    I won't play on any battle difficulty besides Medium, the game is balanced for it, and I don't want ridiculous results like elites routed by missile troops.

    I won't play on Very Hard campaign difficulty because not only is diplomacy and naval warfare stupid, but all AI factions get 10,000 bonus mnai every turn, which means endless, pointless warfare. A battle or two every few turns is fine, five identikit battles every single turn is boring.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)

    generally H/M as the AI tends to be stupidly agressive on VH campaign difficulty. I always stick with M battles difficulty, not too fond of my mighty imperial army being trashed by a bunch of gaulish drug addicts.

    from people's comments i'd say H/M is the most common...
