So I only play Napoleon and Empire, I've played a few playthroughs of Rome 1 and liked it a lot playing as Carthage and tried to play Shogun 2 and Atilla but couldn't get into either of them(sorry yall). I've played Napoleon on highest difficulty settings with all indicators turned off for so many battles that its not even fun anymore because I can't lose(plus economy and diplomacy is honestly too easy even on highest settings with darthmod).

But I'll be dammed, I've attempted to play as Great Britain on Empire Ultimate Early World Domination campaign on very hard, then hard like 3 times a piece and everything goes to shit within like 20 turns. But now I'm playing with normal campaign settings and very hard battle settings and it's too easy like 30 turns in. Maybe I just need to stop playing for a while lol. I've played as GB a few times on vanilla but first time playing with these specific mods and settings(artillery x2, 4 turns a year, don't have x40 units though)

Must be a skill issue
