One of the problems with Vh is insta-generals that the AI gets.
Captains in enemy lands magically turn into general lead armies and just as you organized a small force to deal with them the AI decides tha captain should be a general which recruits all the mercs in the area so you have to retreat and organize a new larger force.

also assassinating a general that returns turn after turn until eventually he has enough piety and command that assassination is no longer an option. Same for crusading armies, insta-crusaders.

You invest so much in near useless assassins (unless you reload) and all for nothing because of ridiculous AI bonuses.
