But then again EB has said that this mod is best played on VH/M... If you want to play on hard and make things really imbalanced then go ahead. I never had too much of a problem with them on medium, but i never fought against them. I will say however i lost many battles when it came to my triarii... So they're not all that tough.
I was under the impression that the difficulty settings only effected the AI, I didn't know they actually just made everyone impossibly hard, that said its kind of cool that I captured the city of Rome fairly quickly on hard mode despite the high proportion of Triarii in the Roman army.

Will medium settings be a challenging experience? or well say a more realistic experience?
