Multiplayer difficulty for DEI?

**bananas** · January 17, 2016, 01:21 AM

Me and a buddy want to play DEI online campaign since it's the reason we got Rome 2. The problem is the battles seem to be balanced specifically with normal difficulty in mind but normal campaign difficulty is usually too easy, and I'm pretty sure there's no way to change the campaign and battle difficulties separately in multiplayer. Is there anything that I can do to make the campaign very hard (AI bonuses to income, army upkeep, army limits, etc) while also leaving the battles balanced?

I'm aware of a submod that changes the campaign normal to very hard while leaving the battles at normal exists but it hasn't been updated in a while and I'm a Rome2 editing novice.

Thanks for any help

I actually put my hand up a while back to re-create that sub mod, as a few people had inquired about it, and I play a lot of head to head as well, I'll get on it asap, I was just a bit confused by the difficulty levels in the database, as there seem to be 7 different levels, -3 through to 3, and I'm not entirely sure what they represent in game, because there isn't 7 different levels in the game.

There are 2 different ranges. One is for AI, one is for player (don't ask me why its that way, it just is for some reason

).

If you look at the column in difficulties that says player, you can sort it by which ones are for player and which for AI. If I remember, the AI range is -1 to 3. The player range is -3 to 1.

Pretty much what Dresden said, but to make it a bit clearer:
Human -3 and AI 3 = Legendary
Human -2 and AI 2 = Very Hard
Human -1 and AI 1 = Hard
Human 0 and AI 0 = Normal
Human 1 and AI -1 = Easy
