anybody play hard battles?

my humble observation
on RTW.exe VH/M easy you are the new Alexander!
VH/H still you can defeat the enemy but more realistic just aim your tactics well.

on alex. vh/m my favourite, though I hate to fight endless battles, best fits to me.
vh/h on alex, men there should be more funny games to suicide, even pandadapoi can resist your FMs and kills your king ,

vh/vh,
if you say fighting with your elites with heavy losses, no comment, but to sacrifice even a spartan against a medium phalanx, it is not funny at all
I wish the game have no difficulty settings, just a celever ai and you, I can assure than first MTW and STW had better ais than RTW. I had many battles with MTW that the enemy crushed my army with double envelopments, what RTW does; cavalry charges phalanxes from front!

my favourite is VH/M on alex VH/H on RTW.
I still could not managed to evaluate BI cos it has more different and more comlicated responses than others some very clever some very stupid

WHAT! nah bro... vh/vh you gotta do your best, roll out all elite armies that you can at least have a fighting chance!

I remember taking on the Ptolemoi all elite armies with my KH all elites back in .74 (btw back then the cavarly "charge" did not work) and .8x in VH/VH. That was crazy! If the number of troops were even I was in deep s***. Even if I outnumbered them, I was in for one hell of a fight.
