Multiplayer Difficulty Settings

[workersareOP]

Can anyone explain exactly how it works if two (or more) people play a multiplayer game together, each with different difficulty settings? I suspect it would change the happiness bonus, obviously, but I'm having a hard time deciding what I think would happen to the computer players. If one player is on Deity and the other on Settler, what do the AI's advantages end up set at?

Am realizing that a friend and I, though we do enjoy playing together, probably shouldn't be playing the same difficulty setting, so am trying to figure out how to fix that.

I think the AI is set depending on the host(player 1) difficulty. The difficulty alkso affect the bonus you get vs barbarians.
