Hi
The AI isn't any 'smarter' on expert than on high difficulty on either the strategic or the tactical maps.
On expert the non-player factions get more florins at kickoff, and AI troops receive enhanced combat and morale stats.
I stopped playing on expert when the tedium of slaughtering wave after wave of kamikaze peasants and the like (because the morale bonus wouldn't let them flee the field of battle even after I'd killed their general and routed all the decent troops) just became too much for me to take, and was too time-consuming.
Best regards
