Battle Difficulty

[Imrahil]

I just downloaded SS 6.3; I haven't played Kingdoms in a long time. I've mainly been playing Empire.

I tried google searching this but couldn't find any definitive answers.

Does raising the battle difficulty past medium give the AI any "cheating" bonuses like upped attack, defense, etc.? Or is their morale simply artificially bolstered as I've been led to believe through what I've found.

Thanks in advance.

HiHo

This was in RTW.

This is in MTW II.

Hmm really short answer - hopefully it´s enough.

Thanks, and this hasn't been changed in SS 6.3?

No. Not sure it can be changed in MTW2 actually even though the engine is built over RTW some things weren't made moddable. Some submods add quite higher morale bonus or give AI extra command stars and other traits for their generals to compensate for AI stupidity but no actual fighting stat changes.

Good to know, I'll go fire up on hard then.

Thanks a lot!
