Difficulty level selection in Multiplayer

[RouTaran]

Hello,
I have a question regarding human players electing different difficult levels. I as the host selected Mercury for difficulty and all the AI in the game were also assigned Mercury. My friend on the other hand selected Sputnik. Does his selection make him have an easier game than I?

Thanks

Host chooses AI strength, clients can choose different difficulties as a handicap. If you set Mercury, you'll get 9 starting Health, while your friend gets 12 on Sputnik.

There are probably also other advantages, once they have the difficulties all worked out it will be known.

Thank you. That answers my question.
