What do you think about VH/H without any house rules?

The most important thing is how YOU feel about it. VH/VH will be very hard indeed for most factions, VH/M is too easy for some people using some factions. If you're among those people, go ahead.

I tend to play on VH/M, because I don't want the battlefield bonuses to distort play on the battlefield.

Does the battlefield setting change or adjust the units recruited by the AI?

I was once told that on a M battlefield setting, the AI will tend to recruit better quality units, whereas, on a VH setting, it will recruit weaker units knowing they will still perform well on the battlefield. Is this true?

Well I decided I will wait for the next buid up, 9.0 as I understand, and start a new Roman campaign on VH/H. I got dissapointed with my Polybian Triarii that have that stupid black helmet bug and its realy anoying.

Summer is comming and I live in a beautiful mediteranian city, young Czech female tourists are comming

, wild night life is ready, sea is calling!

So I will try in a couple of months when 9.0 appears? Is there a rough date?

Oh, good work guys! I'm off...

Yes, there is a rough date, which is "when it's done"

I play on H/M, because on VH, I find the Seleucids to be... er... annoying, to say the least. The rate at which they seem to be able to spam stacks on VH seems completely out of control... even recruiting my entire population could come close to competing with that instant replaceability that they seem to have. They seem a little calmer on H, though, so that's where I am now.

For me it is probably M/M - due to computer obsoleteness - and Autocalc seems to be tied to Campaign - difficulty.

im there too. just too tired of Sels!
in my current Bactrian campaign they are at war with everyone but still decided that peace between us aint right and attacked

i was struggling as Pontus and Armenia on VH before and starting Bactria on H definitely made a huge difference. they seemed to be toned down considerably. right now i have occupied all they fore eastern provinces and dont get annoying invasions of stacks, after stacks, every turn.
altough im not sure if i should still stick to H when playing away from this giant, like Romans for example. would H campaign be too easy for a faction like Rome or Macedon?
