I commanded both, I gave reinforcements order to defend but they engaged anyway so I took defense role and kept them covered. It is hard to explain so I draw state-of-art tactic mapSpoiler Alert, click show to read:
EDIT And I must say that battle meant nothing. Year later and they were there again, with another army besieging Tolosa and two 3/4 marching into northern provinces.

very hard has more army spam probably.
Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

It is Hard/Hard difficulty,I dont think Very hard has more armies. It is just unusuall situation. Sweboz were fighting there for years against Pritanoi , Arveni, and also against Aruernoi after they reemerged, then Pritanoi massacred my settlement so I captured western Gaul and invaded islands. Sweboz moved freed forces against Aruernoi and Aruernoi, destroyed one and pushed out another very quickly. Then they sent armies they had against 3 factions against me. I autoresolved initial smaller battles so they kept large portions of their armies, then I defeated their 10k men strong army but I killed only 2300 soldiers. I released prisoners as I'm not savage and ransom/enslavement has same outcome in large battle. Remaining soldiers get reinforcements and attacked again.
Sounds like you've got your work cut out.
Im glad you liked it. I fought them again, this time in three separate battles, but last one was also nice 4500 vs 6300.
Was something changed with 2.3 making it so that pressing Print Screen produces .bmp screenshots in the main game folder? I used to have just .tga's getting created in the tga subfolder, now they're both getting taken when I press Print Screen. But I don't remember If I'd change some setting in previous install that disables the .bmp's from showing up, or if it's something new.
Here are a few shots from custom battles.

Aw gawd, those are so nice. How come the black bars around those two, what mode were those taken in?

Enemy General Deaths , when the general died, I just pause the battle, I've been using some reshade. Its a "plug and play", but it affects heavily the UI(like texts are near unreadable...) and honnestly it doesn't give good results for all battle maps(but looks nice for north Europa).
