Hard Campaign certainly - I tested a lot on Medium for consistency. When switching up to see the difference I was, very subjectively however, much more involved with a Hard campaign.

The AI units get Experience bonii already. Provided you play with the Full Garrison script then you will need all your troops and money, so you won't have too much 'spare' if things go awry. Medium battles will keep things even, but you will probably still win just about every one - and that may be a little more 'fun' for your "best experience" - so you may wish to go to Hard battles too.

Here is the 'kicker' - that, because the AI has been 'encouraged' to recruit fairly reasonable armies, then restricting yourself to roughly historical compositions (ie not all armies of Praetorians and things like Cataphracts and Horse Archers that the Romans fielded very little of, if any at all, in our time frame) will make a difference; then battles will be meaningful.

So - Hard/Medium, or Hard/Hard, vanilla choices, Large units, 1turn for M2CW.
