Thanks. So Viceroy is the difficulty where the AI doesn't receive any benefits (according to the in-game description)?
EDIT: Oh wait according to the XML the AI does get boosts in viceroy. So there's no way to play the game where the AI doesn't get any perks/benefits?

Hmm okay then what is the difficulty and speed most players of the mod play on? I'm assuming it's Monarch/Normal?

Bigger question: Is the AI itself dumber on lower difficulties?
No but it is unable to defend himself from barbarians. Play Emperor difficulty and you see constantly early civs to collapse or be razed because of barbs.

Eh?
Constantinople can't be razed, it's the Greek-Catholic Holy City.
Or has this been changed?

It does? What's the malus?
It's not necessarily the Holy City in 3000BC. I love it when Aksum is the Orthodox Holy City, haha, unfortunately AI Ethiopia almost always collapses into nothingness.

I forget some (most?) people roll 3000 BC games for later Civs.
Heh, Ethiopia. Most of the time even all their cities get razed and they never even respawn.

Its units hammer cost is 110% of the human. I usually change it to 90 or 85.
And it's 100% on Emperor. So Leo's comment about "higher unit production" is a bit misleading
Oh, and I forgot another malus - on every level, it's harder for the AI to fight barbarians (AI receive combat maluses vs. barbs). I usually increase the maluses to "compensate" early civs for easier unit production and no plague.
