I think it's +4 to attack on hard and +7 to attack on very hard for the computer. I think they also get better morale and you get penalties to your morale. So a cavalry charge might not rout them and your units will rout a lot faster at the first sign of the battle swaying. Harder difficulties just gives bonuses to the computer and penalties to you. It doesn't make the AI any better, something that everyone desires in RTW.
