Campaign VH
Battle M
The reason the battle part is recommended to be played on M is that neither you nor the AI receives any unfair bonuses.
Could You please be more exact? What exactly bonuses? You see, I have always conceitedly considered myself to be a veteran of RTW-based games, besides I managed to fulfill my campaign objectives in 0.8 playing on VH/VH. So when 0.81 came out I presumptuously started a new campain for Qart Hadasht on VH/VH without any hesitation. At first everything was nice. I conquered several rebel provinces in Iberia, defeated the Lusots, subdued Sicilia. During all that time I had constant severe financial crisis but I hoped to overcome it by conquering rich Italic cities. So I invaded Italia and, OH NO!!!! Was crushed by the romans!!! That samnite heavy butchers just slaughtered my elephants... Now I'm having problems... But I've gone too far to quit everything and start from the beginning. So what are the bonuses? Is it morale, stamina, or else. I need to know. Perhaps I'll be able to take some counter measures next battle.
