Captain-General Difficulty?

[Paul59]

Does the game change the difficulty setting by itself?

I have been playing on Lieutenant-General for some time, when I noticed that I was on Captain-General, although I was sure that I had never changed it myself. Since then I have often reset the game back to Lieutenant-General, but after a few games I notice that it has gone up to Captain-General again! The reason that I notice is that the quality of my units goes down on Captain-General, for instance from Average to Below Average.

I don't think it changes by itself but after a few victories it will suggest to increase.
You might have accepted to increase by accident.

Richard may have some idea on this.

That is the only explanation I can think of.

I don't remember anything like that, but I will keep a close eye on it in future.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Me: "Ha ha, AI!!! I'm going to keep playing on Lieutenant-General level so I can continue to whip your silicon arse!"
AI: "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't allow that to happen......."
