Interesting thing about the difficulty levels. I didn't know that the results differ so much. It might have something to do with the AI recruiting mercenaries above M difficulty, something it doesn't do on Medium.
My observation is from M/M games (suits my play style best).
The AS can get pretty evil when you play KH as this means you're inititally allied with the Ptollies and nobody competent (aka you) is there to strip the AS of their land(Pontos, Hay, Pahlava and baktria). My KH campaigns always result in Epic(or rather tedious) struggles against "THE EMPIRE"(AS), "The wild natives of Magna graecia"(the romans) and "The Wild natives of Iberia"(the lusitanians).

I am not sure my difficulty level with that game. i have quite a few saves and they all vary. I found that picture lying around in my storage somewhere. If I am remembering the game correctly, I was roman. I used to play all VH/M but more recent games have been M/M; for that one I have no idea. So I can't confirm or deny your theory about the AS on VH difficulty.
