AI Difficulty - Where is the easy mode?
I'm new to steam so allow me to add another begginer question here XD
Where is the EASY AI Difficulty for the campaigns? Do I need to download it separately and if so where/how?
I'm not a hardcore gamer, I just want an easy game to relax... have tried to play joana's and barbarrosa's campagins but couldn't pass the 3rd level of each...
The Difficulties offered here are only Standard, Moderate and Hard.

Thank you! :D

i don't think they actually have an easy difficulty but with those campaigns but i suggest replaying those missions again knowing how you failed and trying again to improve upon. They are not really that hard but may require less passivity on your side

"Standard" would be your easy mode. It is by far the most relaxing game mode, since the AI will only attack you with small battalions. Just make sure you are securing your base with a few counter-troops and a castle as soon as you hit Medieval Ages.

Your keys are 1) your timing, 2) a strong economy, 3) a strong army. With Standard AI difficulty you can always easily concentrate on erecting a strong economy.

-Try the William Wallace campaign first!
If you are new, losing in the campaign is not really losing. Just examine how and why your base or troops fell and try to come up with ways to counter it. Like say, you get rushed by knights and such? Use pikemen. Trebuchets destroying your fortifications? Rush some cavalry behind the enemy and take them out. Archers peppering your men? Make some skirmishers.

Standard is the most easy one. I swear enemy will rush with only 4-6 soldiers. And looks like rarely send it. Not quite challangeging
