Hello everyone, I want to share my observations regarding the difficulty of the game in two different versions. I personally noticed and confirmed that in the Steam version, completing the campaign on the difficult level is much harder than in the GOG version. I don't know what causes this, whether it's due to patches or different versions. But it's really more challenging. This also applies to building the castle in the 2nd mission of the prologue for Vyacheslav. Neutral troops are harder to defeat, even with dynasty bonuses, stack divisions, and significant losses, unlike the GOG version where everything was easily swept aside.
In general, completing the campaign is much more difficult in the Steam version, and upgrading dynasty weapons and unlocking achievements is also more challenging, but it's very interesting. Although I've only just started the 2nd mission of the prologue for Vyacheslav, I noticed that there are almost no Russian players; most are from other countries. However, there are many people playing online in the evenings, with 20-30 custom maps created, and 1-6 people playing on each.
