Hmmm thanks for the info froggy. (I loved your guides to MTW btw but I never posted here before now so belated thanks :p)

It *sounds* like, if we go by MTW, there are no real ai tactics unlocked by a harder difficulty setting, just units are intrinsically better.

I'd like to fight on the highest AI tricks and strategies level, with the units being as even as possible. Think Medium in RTW would fit that bill? Or have you guys noticed the AI doing neat stuff in hard that it doesn't do in medium?

On a side note, in one hard battle the enemy hid his infantry in the woods. I saw them hide of course, and knew they were there, but directed one of my cavalry to charge his generals unit to see what would happen.

The cavalry ran along happily until the infantry stood up *just* in front of them and then got promptly slaughtered :p
