SS makes the campaign level AI brutal. They just keep sending stack after stack after you, as it should be.

The battle level AI is slightly better, in that it'll do things such as seek out your general. Still pretty easy, but an improvement.

Only problem I've had with it is it makes the Khwarezmian Empire so powerful that it just straight outright crushes the mongol invasion. In my current game, I had one of my Cuman generals (now Khan) send a raiding party out to sack and destroy every building in most of their cities so that they'd be weakened. Mongols haven't struck yet, so we'll see how it works out.
