Combat AI Difficulty

[Bottom MMR Player]

I just installed the 1.1.0 Beta branch and started a new game. Now I see a new a new combat AI difficulty slider, with 'Normal', 'Veteran', and 'Challenging'. Which one is more difficult: Veteran, or Challenging? It's not very intuitive.

i have mine one veteran i think that is for when your used to the AI combat with tactics and such i think they get a boost for recruiting thats my guess.

I also didn't understand which one is the most difficult, it would be easier if they put it, easy, normal or hard, maybe the challenger is the most difficult. Does anyone know which is the most difficult?

Challenging = hardest. Expect the AI to probably chamber most of your swings and punish you for holding a swing at all.

Thanks, it is good to attack and see the enemy moving in their formations, this will make the game more realistic. I hope to see this happen from now on.

The AI still needs some tweaking, so don't expect perfection just yet. They are generally pretty decent, but sometimes they get confused and do some weirdness.

I feel like Veteran probably a good starting point if you're a vet of the series.

The default AI is too dumb in combat. If you have 60+ athletics and aren't overly encumbered you can run circles around enemies and they can't seem to move fast enough to face you properly and defend themselves. Literally been doing this cheese in tournaments now and never lose 1 v 1 even against heavy empire troops that are armored to the teeth and take like no damage vs sword strikes.

I'm a veteran I've played games in the series, but I want a higher level than a veteran, so this challenging level must be more veteran, as the friend above said!
