For battles at least.

As soon as you get back into the swing of things, you'll regret being stuck on easy/easy level. And if you are going to get a butt-kicking, you might as well get it against a 'tougher' AI.
I tried that actually, my first game, played it at medium/medium. I played the Sarmatians. Two turns in, the Huns come along and steam roll my capital. The horde thing activates, I steamroll some of them, get my capital back, their hordes activate, they take my capital again and so forth. Rather nasty little cycle. It would have ended eventually, but I was too annoyed to keep going just to see who was going to win. ;)

Anyway, yeah, I'm going to bump it back up. I'm more or less just playing around until I find a faction that has agreeable units.
