Does Anyone Play Anything Else But Medium?

[Janius]

I always play with VH/H,
mainly because I like to battle with full stacks and the ai usually uses half-stacks. By playing on hard their lack of manpower is compensated.
Yet sometimes this does lead to absurd situations, where 6 units of gestatae butcher an entire roman legion

Funny that everybody considers Gaesatae too be so powerful. I think they are pretty vulnerable to missile troops. And once played on H battle difficulty, I beat Gaesatae with 2 units Rorarii and a General. Most of the Rorarii died, but in the end they defeated the Gaesatae.

I usually play VH/VH... recently I played VH/M and treid to "role play". I couldn't do it.... Just too easy, and many times I would get frustrated due to the lack of a challenge. Even with rulz and s*** like that.


HOWEVER, I found out that if u put FATIGE: FALSE, then even in M battles are more enjoyable because the AI won't tire its troops.

Right now I kinda took that to the extreme and I am playing a KH H/VH campain this way. I am doing good so far. But I don't know how well it will go once I have to face the Ptolemaoi (sp) with their ALL ELITE armies.

I'm actualy playing an Baktrian campain in h/vh (battles/campain) and I'm powning the AS with pahlavian help .... I just dont like to be so poor that I can only have two half stacks of mainly persian archers and other half stack of cripled parthian horse archers units to defend my sapatries keeping an 2k income.. I'm still dreamings with the time when I'll be able to create one stack with elephants, hipotoxotai, phalanxes, indian longbowmans and maybe catraphacts....
But m/vh is ok to me too.

Medium for me. I'm not suicidal. Yups.

Well...I played an aeudiu campaign 2 days ago, and my evil expansionist ass removed both arverni and romans in a fell swipe in around 8 hours of gameplay (I'm in summer, give me a break, im bored lol) with botroas, north gallic swords and some stacks of gallic spearmen with one small stack of 40 archers for fire and around 3 units of slingers. So medium battles and hard difficulty are a big no no lol.

I been going through an Epirote campaign and so far I have managed to push the Romaios to their own hades and the makedonians down into athens/chalkis/korinthos...

Btw, The epirote campaign has taken me around 5 hours and I have played on h/h ...

Still too easy lol I think ima return to my stressful yet enjoyable vh/m games lol.

Cheers :)
