What is harder play with battles in very hard or medium?

[Afro Thunder]

You should note that on VH the battle AI is capable of executing ridiculous maneuvers i.e. charging a phalanx from the front with light cavalry and winning. I guess that's making up for the AI's obvious lack of tactical prowess.

Does putting campaign difficulty on VH make the AI build better units? If they do I think its worth all the rest of the crap you have to put up with.

The AI still loves its town militia units and peasants even on very hard.

How typical of "artificial" intelligence

[sunsmountain]

Medium - No AI bonuses
Hard: 4+ Attack Factor (Primary/Secondary) and 4+ Morale
Very Hard: 7+ Attack Factor (Primary/Secondary) and 7+ Morale

Sounds convincing, but could you provide us with a link pls? Jerome Grasdyke confirmed the attack factor to us, but he said the morale factor is more complicated than that, so i dont believe your 4+ and 7+ Morale...
