Extra difficulties!

[guineawolf]

i just played a lot of medium/medium dificulties campaign,my army prove unstoppable everytime i get my economy up and running,even with just militia hoplites base infantry army(with 2 to 4 cavalry to take out range units that won't stand and fight,they keep running!!!).

Then i play very hard/very hard campaign after that,with careful planning,it still happen,my army become unstoppable.The AI army prove to be too few to stand in my way.....(AI got plenty of cash,they just dun produce that fast to create enough troops just to defend themself!I even destroyed Brutii with 300,000+ denarii treasury along with them!!!They do recruit mercenaries,but to few available to be recruit....)

So i found out the fastest way to create huge army for AI,that is they will recruit MERCENARIES!
So i decide to create that pool of MERCENARIES to be recruited.
