Difficulty Levels

[Zhahz]

Anybody know what factors are involved in the difficulty levels?

I read the manual but don't recall seeing it and can't find it in the 'pedia (and can't double check either since I'm at work ).

 

[dr_AllCOM3]

HANDICAP_PILGRIM 160
HANDICAP_PIONEER 110
HANDICAP_EXPLORER 100
HANDICAP_CONQUISTADOR 90
HANDICAP_GOVERNOR 75
HANDICAP_PATRIOT 60
HANDICAP_REVOLUTIONARY 50

as a general guideline.

Well, that's great except that I have no idea what that means. Heh.

I noticed a choice like in Civ 4 of "Agressive AI." As if the King isn't already agressive enough.

100 means "100%", so that's "even-Steven" playing. The higher the #, the easier for you, the lower the number, the more your handicaped.

 

[Lord Shadow]

Yeah. Basically, the numbers are the efficiency of the player's assets (in %).

Please explain what is the assets?

What values are under the influence of HANDICAP value? Does the AI need less hammers for a production to complete or what?
