Ok all, i've heard that the only difference on expert (in regards solely to the battlefield map) are a moral boost for the enemy (and a negative to you) but i seem to get some oddities sometimes in regards to units fighting. ANyone else get this?
Here's a couple of examples...
Ghulam cavalry losing to byzatium cavalry, charging downhill, the BC had like 20 horses left chasing my 5 GC at the end. BYz had a 5 star general, i had a 4.
Another time i got my ass kicked by one of those peasant rebellions.... (i know, i know i suck ok:) ), i had about 400 chiv sergaents vs about 1000 peasants, normal frontal assualt and yes there general was better than mine, but damn it i got kicked... by peasants it's weird.
Also, had a weird one where i lost over half a group of Varangian Guard to a group of FMAA....
am i going crazy? am i already there?
ps:- These are semi-isolated incidents, i mean i must have played nearly 20 games on hard, and so far in my first 5 or so on expert, ive only noticed weird battle results these few times but i never experienced stuff like this on hard. And before you say. Oh but there's so many variables, rank, moral, hills, charging etc. etc. i can assure you that in these situations the variables should have at least been even sometimes "what i thought" where favourable even.
