This is precisely why my last campaign on VH was in RTW, when I was the Parthians.

I'm a horsearcher nut. On medium, at least the AI realized it was surrounded by cavalry with ranged weapons. It would sensibly try to get out of there if it wasn't on a hilltop looking down at me. Putting the tactical AI on VH made things ridiculously easy. The AI would put keep going forward no matter how hopeless things were. It was like bagging a charging bull. All you had to do was step to one side and shoot it as it barrelled past. I quit the campaign after wiping out so many Selucid phanlanxes in one battle, my whole stack had run out of arrows.
