AI Difficulty

I am just about to start a game on Hard difficulty, but I am not quite sure what exactly the different bonuses do:

Movement bonus 30%; Is this a percentage increase in AP for all enemy units, or does it mean that all hexes cost 30% less to enter/river crossing cost 30% less?

Combat bonus 50%; Is this a modifier along the line of the divisional bonus, or is it a 50% bonus applied to hit points, soft attack, hard attack, etc.

Transfer bonus 100%; I guess this one just doubles the rail capacity? Or does it affect the rail conversion as well?

And can these bonuses easily be changed in the editor? I briefly looked for it, but to no avail. It is particularly the movement bonus I want to alter.

Related to this, the difference between the difficulties seem very large to me. How about a custom difficulty, where I can adjust each bonus myself in steps of 5 or 10% ?

I agree that there should be a step where the AI bonus is not as large when you want to step it up a notch.
