    somebody has done some pretty detailed testing unit vs unit on different difficulty levels ( sorry can't remember the thread but kudos to whom it may concerN) and the general gist seemed to be. On Easy thereis a Moral + kill bonus for human. Normal No Bonuses, Hard Computer gets kill bonus, Very Hard computer gets kill and moral bonus.
    hope this helps. ps the above statement is entirely hearsy. :)

    Hm, the AI getting a kill bonus on Hard...I don´t approve of that.

    Hopefully the AI plays to the best of its (admittedly very low) ability on Medium....

    Seems a bit cheap and unfair and pointless to give the AI stat bonuses to me. Which is why I always play on normal.

    They should make the AI "better" on higher skills.

    All the AI gets is probably some right now unknown boni - it does not react smarter or different than on easy / medium on high / very high.

    Ok, thanks. So there's a difference from Medieval then?

    Because as far as I can remember in Medieval it was something like:

    Easy: Player gets morale bonus and the AI uses dumbed-down tactics.
    Normal: Normal AI tactics and no bonuses to anyone.
    Hard: Better AI tactics, still no bonuses to anyone.
    Expert: Beefed up AI as well as a morale bonus to it.

    From what I hear here the AI in Rome gets various bonuses even on hard.
    I don't like cheating AI, let it use the best tactics it can but don't let their peasants be stronger than mine... :P

    No, I recall a developer spelling it out for us here in the Org. In Medieval Hard was the AI at it's very best with a small morale boost for its troops in combat. Expert difficulty had the same AI opponent as Hard but with a large morale boost for AI troops.
