tricky question about Handicaps

[morchuflex]

Hello.

I want to change handicaps by editing the xml file. But I am a bit confused on one point...

I play on Emperor level, while the AI is supposed to play on Noble level. But the "Emperor" section in Civ4HandicapInfos.xml also contains several lines about the AI. Should I edit these lines, or those in the Noble section?

For instance, let's say I want to remove the AI bonus versus animals. So, I guess I'll have to edit the

<iAIAnimalBonus>x</iAIAnimalBonus> line and replace "x" by zero.

But, should I modify the one in the Noble or the one in the Emperor section?

Just imagine it kind of stacks - the AI start of with some basic value in <Whatever>, and that value is then modified depending on what Level the player chosen... So: the Emperor ones.

Makes sense. And after some trial and error, it seems to work this way. Thanks.
