    (This is the EBII forum)

    EB is meant to be played with medium battles an very hard campaign difficulty.

    yeah, VH campaign - M battle is the recommended setting, and while we don't "recommend" the force diplomacy mod, I know there are plenty of times that you know your enemy should take a deal, but the AI is unable to understand the concept of honorable defeat and settlement. So that might be a good one to try.

    And way to go playing a campaign into the 160's on VH/VH! Wow.

    For someone new to the gme I would recommend playing on medium or hard campaign as the AI is less likely to attack you for no reason and the diplomacy works better.

    definitely. you can hardly say that diplomacy "works", however, regardless difficulty level.
    i played it for months and months now, tried VH, but eventually turned to H (some even prefer Medium) campaign for good. VH unbalances things imo.

    Yeah, kudos on a newbie getting that far. I still can't bring myself to play more than a few turns with the Romani--I'm still too burned from vanilla. Same with the Ptolies, I see those Mummy Returns guys in my dreams. I know everyone's put a lot of work in those factions, and they look a LOT better, but I just can't do it. Eventually, I guess.

    well... as people have pointed out RTW's AI does not understand what diplomacy is. So IF you are trying to "RolePlay" then VH Campain diffuculty will make it imposible. Probably so will H.

    I suggest you get the Force Diplomacy mod. I ain't 100% AI stupidity safe but it works.
