Playing as ai and battle difficulty

[Mars004]

Hello all,
I hope I am posting this in the right section.
I am about to start a new head-to-head campaign with a friend, but we have yet to figure out, how the battle difficulty bonus applied to ai armies works, when one of us chooses to play as ai. We would like to play at very hard for campaign difficulty, but do not want the player playing as ai to have an advantage in battles.

Thanks for your help!

put game as very hard but reduce battle difficulty.
also i doubt human players benefit from the auto-resolve or battle moral boost if you choose to play the battle instead of auto-resolving.

We tried to test this playing a VH MPC with a friend. "Playing as the AI", we were comparing our unit morale status and attack values to each other. We could not see any discernible difference from the vanilla "normal difficulty" values. So, if there is a bonus, it is hidden.

Thanks, unfortunately you can't access game settings in multiplayer campaign and therefore cannot change battle difficulty.
But if there is no morale bonus in mpc battles anyway, we are ready to start playing.
