gah! a bug? in the gold edition? why didn't they edit it out?

aw well.. I'll just except the fact that I can't use normal tactics in fights in area's with water.. :(

btw - I already made it to victory in the campaign.. but I'm going to play on to conquer everything - as planned.

I wonder, what would change when I would increase the 'campaign difficulty'? Will they just appear to make less blunders or will the AI actually 'cheat'? (like getting more money then they actually should?)

Still busy with this campaign.. conquered north-west africa, italy, spain, greece, constantinople and the settlements to the north that belonged to the sarmatians, roxolani, etc. Now at war with ERE mainly, conquering turkey and the north-east at the same time.

Increasing campaign difficulty, I believe, just makes it harder to deal with the AI, diplomatically speaking. They should, once they border you, attack you with no reason whatsoever.

There may be other effects, but that's the main one I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong... I believe Campaign Difficulty effects Autoresolve too? And on VH difficulty the AI gets money given to it every few turns?

Also on VH difficulty, on the campaign map, the AI is much more aggressive and/or reckless in both diplomacy and in the way it acts on the map. On VH some have seen suicidal generals attack full stacks alone and refuse the acceptance of a whole empire off the player. Due to these issues, I always play on Medium or Hard.

On the battlemap, with VH active, the AI gets huge bonuses to morale and attack. I consider these bonuses unrealistic and too overpowered, so I stick to Medium which is a perfect playing field for both the AI and the player.
