Very Hard / Very Hard is just don't play option?

[Sarpistic]

I choosed VH / VH but wtf is this man. all factions around you attack in first 10 turns with 2 full armies each.

i guess very hard is just "don't play the game" mode.

Or maybe you need to git gud.

Just played Kislev, Empire and Warriors of Chaos on VH/VH and that didn't happen to me.

Disregarding the git gud elitists. On VH/VH AI cheats kick in to 11 and AI starts to dogpile you. If you don`t feel comfortable playing on VH/VH no shame to playing on normal.

Pay some attention to the diplomatic side of things to try prevent that?

You are likely still going to get a couple of enemy factions that attack you and send several stacks (that is normal, more or less, depends a bit on the faction you are playing), but not all of them at the same time.

lightining strike and replenishment. my way to go cheese and also no army should be alone, i just use 6-8 lords late game, in pairs. not that i cant field any more armies with 60k income but thats more than enough to deal with 1-2 enemy factions at same time.

after all that you can even auto resolve everything safely.

diplomacy a bit important too like others said, potentially reducing number of fronts makes lotta difference. even for a limited time.

That's the standard game difficulty for me, because it's the only difficulty that forces you to play some manual battle. Meaning vh/vh is more than playable, It just requires you to know what you are doing.

Just be sure to adjust the AI stat modifier to 0% (it's maxed by default when you pick vh Battle difficulty), otherwise Is Just masochism.

im no elitist but i dont understand the logic of playing on very hard and then complaining on the forums about it being very hard.
did you really not expect the git gud comment as you hit enter?

I've always hated the AI battle stat modifiers. Before we had this slider, I used to just set battle difficulty to "normal". Having your top titty elite infantry rout 1v1 against the enemy's basic line holder because of the absurd buffs they get from the AI ruins the immersion and requires you to cheese them in return.

What faction? Did you break treaties?

It saddens me that cheat stat slider is the only way CA can do difficulty.

I guess you are not ready for VH/VH then or use diplomacy to avoid getting attacked or accept and embrace Total War because you are playing a bad guy.

The anti-player bias is a big part of dis I fink, if we had Hotseat Mode, chu could play as multiple factions simultaneously, which would force le AI to divide its anti-player bias amongst all le factions chu are playin’.

Sadly, we do not has Hotseat Mode yet, but I fink der is a mod dat removes anti-player bias.

Doh, I personally find dat dat makes le game kinda borin’.

On the bright side, most of us will be out of a job by the time AI is good enough to provide a substantial challenge...

[GamerHubert]

Only playing on vh/vh and u can manage without problems. But Vh on fights need to be played manuel and not autoresolve or u will lose big with some factions which start with a bad auto resolve.

[Hell Muffin]

Pick very hard difficulty.
Find it hard.
I mean... that checks out.

But you can be more specific about your issue. And maybe people can give you something more then "git gud".
