Easy alliances and automatic battle outcomes on 6.3 VH/VH?

[Kilgore Trout]

1. My diplomat is able to form an alliance with every faction without offering any cash - just a balanced deal.

2. On an automatic outcome battle, even when the odds are one to one, even when I am attacking a castle, I win every time.

I am used to playing PB's RR/RC on VH/VH. I am already 30 turns into a campaign, but I was sure that I had set 6.3 to VH/VH.

Question: Is 6.3 set to make alliances and automatic battles so easy even on VH/VH, or perhaps did I error and am I actually playing on Medium/Medium or even Easy/Easy?

Question: Is there any way to check, once I start a campaign, what levels I am playing on?

Thanks!

Which AI did you choose at the setup?

[Kilgore Trout]

Gracul AI for current game on 6.3.

I usually choose Savage AI or Byg AI for PB's RR/RC. Could that be the difference?

I sure wish there was a way to verify what levels I'm playing on!

Gracul AI

With gracul AI your allies should backstab you in no time anyway. Just leave one of your borders undefended

About the checking to see what difficulty you are playing on... I'm not sure. Personally i'd start a new campaign on vh/vh just send a diplmomat around quickly to see how the asking for an alliance goes. If it says "very demanding" each time... that should answer your question.

Good idea - Thanks

There is a charge script for changing your capital, which has different charges for certain difficulty levels you selected.
If you hover over the change capital button it should show there is no charge if on easy, 2000 for medium and 5000 for H and VH.

autoresolve does look a bit strange -I'm winning battles with 12-15 units but only suffering 20 - 50 casualties (as are defenders.)
(with Savage CAI - if that makes any difference)

can people post any actual amounts for autoresolve battles they fight so we have some firm data.

I could Roz since out of 90 of my battles 80 were autos.... but they seeemed pretty accurate. What are the conditions that my game be at that you need ? (What submods etc.)
