Battles on M or H?

[johnny_b_good]

Does this mod have some extra changes in morale of enemy troops or some higher defencive than vanilla?So,what the difference in difficulty compared to vanilla?

[Silver Legionary]

AFAIK Hard battle difficulty gives +2 to enemy troops' morale and defense skill...
Medium difficulty, they have the same unit stats you, the human player would.

EDIT: SS is WAY more difficult than Vanilla M2TW.
You get used to it. The challenge is worth it, because
this mod(and it's plethora of submods) is what M2TW should have been.

[Caesar Clivus]

SS doesn't change the difficulty level of battles in regards to AI bonuses etc as they are hardcoded.

In current campaign I'm playing VH battles and I like it - they are much more realistic and epic because you can actually lose a battle. On M and H it's nearly impossible to lose.

[stevehoos]

Yep, VH is the way to go.

[Marcvs Antonivs]

Yes, they can be harder on VH, but much more unbalanced since it's not the AI that is upgraded... Only bonuses that put you in disadvantage. Not fair for me.

I was in your opinion very long time, but then I simply tryed VH/VH and now I love it. It's sort of challenge. When you get into VH/VH, the M and H becomes uninteresting (like vanilla compared to SS).

[Ichon]

Why is it that AI getting bonus seems so unfair on VH? Ideally it would be a combination of better AI strategies + AI bonus in money and units but bonus is right for VH. It is supposed to be Very Hard though really the AI should get even more bonus or player get money removed to make it harder. It works this way in almost every game out there.

[johnny_b_good]

I will try M campaign and H battles...

[Æsir]

I will try M campaign and H battles...

In that case I suggest you to try VH campaign and H battles.

Is this mod really easy ?Most people as I can see plays vh/vh?I dont want to be really hard,and no a tons of spawning enemies...I want playing with less battles.

No it's not easy at all, but I suppose you can win vanilla campaign without losing single battle? Do you?

[johnny_b_good]

Yes,I can.

[Gogolometro]

VH, because you can lose. Of course AI get bonuses but not have a human brain.

[Æsir]

Yes,I can.

So do you want a mannly challenge? Then try VH/VH.

Does the computer routs on VH or he fights to death ?

Computer will still rout on VH with most units but more often Elite units will fight to the death and even average units take longer to rout so cost your army more casualties.

[johnny_b_good]

I dont like when I lose, so I want chalenge but not to lose,and not battle evry turn so,I can do VH battles but campaign on M.

[Æsir]

On VH if enemy have real general (not just captain) it will rout only after death of that general. If there will be just captain, then they will rout after first flanking manover.

That is not right. Units can still rout in battle with a general alive on VH it just takes much more to make them. And on VH many units don't rout just due to a flanking maneuver when commanded by a captain. Militia units might but not much else.

Also on VH routed units usually reform quite fast if above 25% remaining. If you don't want to fight same unit 2x you have to kill or capture them all.
