A little advice about difficulty and AI mods

[SlyTheSly]

Hi !
I'm quite nex to Medieval 2 Total War and many people told me to try this mod, so here I am
I've checked a few topics in this forum but I'm still not sure about the answers so i'm asking it directly :

_ What is the best difficulty setting ?
Maybe the makers fo the mod made it for a specific difficulty setting ?

_ Can I use battle AI mods like Lusted AI or DarthVader AI with this mod ? I've read Lusted is compatible with the 5.3 version, it is ok ?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Sly.

I did not see the FAQ advice about difficulty, it's VH/VH then, sorry for asking.
Still I want to know about the battle AI mod

DLV contains its own AI battle tweaks, id suggest giving it a good go with whats in the newst 5.3 patch - it certainly livens things up a bit on VH/VH. As for difficulty you can get away with H/VH wit hthe campaign being slightly easier, yo uwont miss anything

I'll try H/VH or VH/VH then
