Player kingdom lords don't have their reinforcement costs changed by campaign difficulty, they are always set to moderate:
(store_faction_of_party, ":party_faction", ":party_no"),
(try_begin),
(this_or_next|eq, ":party_faction", "fac_player_supporters_faction"),
(eq, ":party_faction", "$players_kingdom"),
(assign, ":reinforcement_cost", reinforcement_cost_moderate),
(else_try),
(options_get_campaign_ai, ":reduce_campaign_ai"), #moto chief
(assign, ":reinforcement_cost", reinforcement_cost_moderate),
(try_begin),
(eq, ":reduce_campaign_ai", 0), #hard
(assign, ":reinforcement_cost", reinforcement_cost_hard),
(else_try),
(eq, ":reduce_campaign_ai", 1), #moderate
(assign, ":reinforcement_cost", reinforcement_cost_moderate),
(else_try),
(eq, ":reduce_campaign_ai", 2), #easy
(assign, ":reinforcement_cost", reinforcement_cost_easy),
(try_end),
(try_end),
But the rent collection decision for them is made as if they do change with difficulty level:
#MOTO chief collect rents only when it actually helps recruit
# (assign, ":score_to_beat", 300), #at least 300 gold to pick up MOTO equals reinforcement_cost_hard
(options_get_campaign_ai, ":reduce_campaign_ai"),
(try_begin),
(eq, ":reduce_campaign_ai", 0), #hard
(assign, ":score_to_beat", reinforcement_cost_hard),
(else_try),
(eq, ":reduce_campaign_ai", 2), #easy
(assign, ":score_to_beat", reinforcement_cost_easy),
(else_try),
(assign, ":score_to_beat", reinforcement_cost_moderate),
(try_end),
(val_mul, ":score_to_beat", 4), # 4/3 "hiring budget" from script_hire_men_to_kingdom_hero_party
(val_div, ":score_to_beat", 3),
(val_div, ":score_to_beat", 2), #parties that can't afford to recruit are willing to go get half of what they need
#MOTO end collect rents only when it actually helps recruit
There are other similar instances of the same mistake, all easily found by searching module_scripts.py for ":reduce_campaign_ai"
They should be changed so that the player kingdom lords have their AI decision making matching the reinforcement cost actually applied to them.
