Difficulty questions
I have not played in years and i recently played seleucid para bellum vh, vh campaign and while at start was hard it was easy later on. I downloaded DEI and started a h, n normal campaign because every where i seen all say its hard and campaign and battle difficulty should be lower, but my prob is that it is insanely easy, like it is easier than vanilla. So, can someone who know the mod know what is the difference between h and vh campgain in DEI and i read that battle diff should be set at normal because it's broken on other difficulties? So what would upping the difficulty to vh campaign and normal battles do?

You must be some kind of master gamer to jump right into DeI and consider H/N to be easier than vanilla?! Or something is broken with your installation, idk. Many people who are usaed to steamrole the Vanilla AI on legendary come to DeI and play on Hard and cant understand why THEY are suddenly the ones getting steamrolled.

That being said, just leave battle difficulty at normal or else you introduce broken offsetting of enemy values, they become much much stronger, you'll truly suffer imo.

Campaign difficulty you can set at whatever you like, if you think Hard is easier than vanilla, then why not try Legendary? :D

I'm playing with Seleucid on legendary and i can tell you that IA is insanely hard to beat....
Phalanx suddenly become weak, archer can't kill anything, heavy shock cavalry barely handle javelinmen without suffer heavy losses. Elephants is no more worth it.... Don't try it if you can't handle pain :)

LOL! I just finished a very hard seleucid campaign and it's easier than vanilla, literally turned off my taxes for the entire campaign and was making still around 10k each turn, not even 40 turns into campaign. Literally the easiest campaign in the game if you know how to keep your satrapies. None of what you wrote above is true :D, and since very hard is the max battle diff, if you are even reducing battle difficulty it's not that insane of a difference. Most battles i did were on normal but even those that i played on very hard were not that insane of a difference. Except maybe i would lose 10-20% more than i would on normal difficulty.
