Can someone tell me if ai gets bonuses with h/vh setting
or if you and the ai are more equal on h/vh

I have searched the forums and read that both are true can someone who knows clear this up.

I play on med diff and it is just way to easy, but I hate the fact that ai would get bonuses on harder level. like in rome peltasts holding the line against heavy infantry.

If the ai does not get bonuses on harder settings but makes you and the ai more equal that would be great

I also heard ai is slightly more tatical on h/vh

please someone who is credible and knows what they are talking about clear this up. thanks

OK, on m/m you and the ai are the same/no bonuses for either. On h/h or vh/vh the ai gets all sort of bonuses, starting from free troops on the GC map to bonus moral on the battle map. Hope this helps.

who is right?

I know what you mean, I'm still not clear on the truth of the matter when it comes to vanilla. Too many people saying opposite things, almost needs a short essay FAQ question about the actual differences b/w difficulty in campaign and battle.

I 'believe' in the case of battle nothing about the AI changes, but your troops are more vulnerable to morale and fatigue problems. On VH I think the effect of that cause can be elite troops with low morale and fatigue fleeing mediocre troops. I really got no clue what actually changes with campaign difficulty levels other than aggressiveness. If I was sure VH = smarter with no cheats I'd be all over it.

The ai DOES NOT, repeat, DOES NOT get bouses to it's attack/defence/morale on VH or H. How do i know this? I been modding the game since it came out and done extensive balance testing and seen no difference between M or VH in terms of ai unit toughness.

Thank you Lusted, I knew you had to be right. Do you know if the ai uses better tactics when on VH?

The AI gets no bonuses, but does the player for example suffer more from fatigue?

**Lusted** · August 31, 2007, 03:39 AM

Yes, on harder difficulties the effect of morale and fatique are increased.

**Lord Firkraag** · August 31, 2007, 05:29 AM

Thanks lusted, I've been wondering about these for a long time!

So on hard and very hard Battle Difficulty

your troops suffer more in terms of moral and fatique then the AI units.

hard Campaign Diffculty = whats the diffrence to medium?

Very Hard Campaing difficulty = Everyone hates you and wants to eredicate you.
