What is a fair difficulty on this game ?

[Ardordor]

I usually like to play Very hard or Hard on Warhammer total war, here i tried the Franks on very hard campaign and normal battle difficulty, and i got kinda stucked, should i try a lesser difficulty ?

Generally, Easy until you feel you can handle Normal.

Yes, it is that bad.

Unless you’re willing to play as Persia in which case Hard might be too easy, haha.

My first campaign was the eastern roman empire on normal, this was coming from shogun 2 on legendary and while it was a fair challenge at the start the faction lets you snowball really easily making it a great beginner faction once you figure out how to manage your public order

I am right now playing Eastern Rome on legendary difficulty. Just play whatever feels good to you. If you got stuck, try out something easier. Mods can also help learning the game by decreasing or increasing some specifics.

Always play vanilla on normal but if you want realistic difficulty use a mod instead.

Attilla is a Total War that its generally recommended you drop the campaign difficulty 1 from your normal Total War favored difficulty (well minimum of normal). Diplomacy is also kind of non-functional above hard, like most total wars. It also kind of depends what faction you play as, since major factions like WRE, ERE, and Sassinids you tend to need to play on harder else they become run away stomps if you survive the first two chapters intact. Migratory tend to be ones you want on easier, as the transition to settled is a major pain

Battle Difficulty is always a personal decision though personally I say Hard it the best balance between compensating for the AI being stupid, but not completely screwing over unit tiers/balance and making AI ranged machine guns and modern artillery.
