Do Supply Lines Effect AI on Legendary?

[Username]

Essentially what the title says. I'm currently playing through one of my first legendary campaigns and my enemies (Grimgor, Grom and the Vamps), seem to have an absurd amount of armies, I understand there are unseen AI cheats but do supply line apply to them or not?

The AI on legendary already has -20% upkeep for all units, and -70% recruitment cost anyway

Yes the AI is effected by supply lines regardless of difficulty.

But on the higher difficulties they have so much upkeep reduction and bonuses to the economy that its kinda nullified anyway (as in, they will be able to afford multiple armies regardless of the penalty).

They also have a much larger background income then the player (again on higher difficulties), background income being a income you get no matter what, in combination with the other bonuses it results in the AI being able to have multiple army stacks from a single settlement even with the supply lines penalty.

Ah I see, this makes sense. Good to know for future reference, thanks.

You destroy one army, two will march your way in next two turns.. thats the summary of that difficulty lol
