Difference between ver hard and hard?

[Andy1984]

If you want a real challenge playing as the romanoi, perhaps more important than the difference between H and VH, is giving your opponents the time to build up. If you allow the Aedui to develop their cities, they might put up a nice fight. I know because I lost quite a few full-stack armies there...

Yeh iv waited a while now and the sweboz are building south they are almost in italy lol.

I went to take sicily but my advisor warned me its war with carthage so i backed off because i wanna let carthage build up so its a good challenge also trade with them is good.

So far i have counquered italy and just teched up im about to conquer boii and that other rebel settlement north of italy
