Battle map difficulty levels?

[Rex Taffel]

I read through frogbeastegg's RTW guide, and from what i gathered, the only difference between normal and very hard is that the enemy gets a +7 attack bonus on very hard. Are there no changes to the AI at all?

I'm sorry if this has been covered in a guide or another topic, but i can't find it anywhere and there is no search feature on this board.

Oh, and hi, i'm new

There has been some discussion about that, in some other forums at least. The preliminary conclusions about that are: NO, there is no change in AI behavior. The other major changes seem to be morale bonus to the enemy and morale handicap to your own men.

I personally made a few tests that make me believe that there are also other combat bonuses and/or handicap, like the +7 attack you say (which I wasn't aware of). For example, on very hard it seems to be an awful idea to charge with cavalry frontally on an infantry unit, even if the latter is moving, while in the exact same situation you could get decent results in medium difficulty.

I don't know the complete least of possible changes between difficulties, but don't expect the AI to behave more intelligently between medium and very hard.
