Is difficulty level all XML based? Does AI act more intelligently?

[Conqueror Worm]

Noble is said to be the most even difficulty level. On levels above Noble the AI gets cheat advantages. On levels below Noble the human gets cheat advantages. I believe most of this is done in the Difficulty Level XML file. This I know and understand.

My question is - Is there any other difference between Noble and Diety than just these XML cheats? In other words, does the AI act in any way differently, or less or more intelligently, according to the difficulty level, or is the only difference these XML numbers?

well,
if your interested in making the ai to be more war mongerer, or do his stratgy play with more units, and a bit more difficult,

you can control some of these features through the leaderhead xml file.
