Difficulty level and Detailed Battles

[mavraamides]

Does increasing AI level make it play better in tactical battles or only
give it more and better units to play with?

In other words, with EXACTLY THE SAME UNITS ON EACH SIDE would the tougher AI easily
beat the easier AI in a head to head detailed battle?

In COG 1.1, difficulty level affects starting forces and economic bonuses.
There is no difference strategically or tactically etc etc.

Thank you!

May I be clarified whether there are just more starting forces and economic bonuses for AI-controlled powers?

Higher difficulty levels gives an economic bonus to the AI and provides some bonuses to die-rolls in combat; higher power levels (+3 to -3) modifies the economy and at higher levels gives bonus starting units.

Hi Eric,

Can you provide more information as to which difficulty level begins to give combat bonuses and what those bonuses are? My default level vs the AI is Bonaparte because I figure the AI needs all the help it can get, but I would like to know what kind of a bone I'm throwing them.

Easy Carnifex......you are throwing them a bone apart!

Eric, can you tell me exactly what color saturation is used to properly encode the matrices for deciding which metrics are involved with the planning of the construction grids dependant on gamma correction? [8D]
