Is there a way to find out what difficulty you play on in the campaign? I checked a listing of console commands but there doesnt seem to be anything like this. I found that my HARD game isnt any different from the previous on NORMAL so I want to be sure. Since I also found difficulty settings in start-campaign-screen been reset to NORMAL.

Also, I found that when doing a custom battle on HARD having peasants up against peasants it seems to be a fair battle. Whereas on NORMAL I seem to always win. No more boni to the AI on HARD? Boni to the player on NORMAL now?
