Not really, try it yourself. On my VH/VH campaign as Epirus, Makedonia still hasn't attacked me (after 20 years of peace or so) even though they have 2 full stacks doing nothing in the peninsula.

As for VH battles I have to rely on Phalanxes against Rome because anything else gets crushed. I've lost 3 battles that I was "supposed" to win (had full stack of phalanx, good general [Pyrrhus!]) and while I get mad at first () I later realize that it makes the game a lot more interesting than always winning.

Losing 3 battles may not sound like much but in the game they meant the destruction of full stacks and death of 2 generals, which are big problems in VH, unlike in lower difficulties where you can slowly rebuild your army.

I don't think I'll switch to H when I lose this campaign!
