I believe it comes with "Make RTW Harder" Utility. This really help give back most of the game's greatness. It's to fix the difficulty settings.

Hard - Battle setting gives the AI:
Pri/Sec Attack Factor = 4+
Moral = 4+

Very Hard - Battle setting gives the AI:
Pri/Sec Attack Factor = 7+
Moral = 7+

This makes a world of difference. Without this fix, you have the same bonuses the AI gets when playing on Hard or Very Hard settings.
