I play on H/M. Not only because the battles are too hard, I just like auto resolve to be balanced when I cba with battles but still want to build my empire. I only play the fun or important battles. Playing as carthage H/H i could'nt trust even hannibal to win with good odds for him on auto resolve. Didn't notice a massive amount of differrence in the battles I played. I routed the enemy with missiles and cavalry before they inflicted massive amounts of damage.
