Hey,
I've been trying to find where to edit the difficulty settings ingame but so far I haven't been able to find anything useful while scanning through all the XML files. So I got a question.
Is it possible to modify the game, either by a modder or by Stardock, same for me, to make it possible to play against the intelligent AI, but with economic handicaps.
Right now the difficulty settings are like this :
Fool : No adapting AI, 90 % economic penalty
Beginner : No adapting AI, 75 % economic penalty
Sub Normal : No adapting AI, 50 % economic penalty
Normal : AI evaluates common tactics, 25 % economic penalty
Bright : AI evaluates most tactics
Intelligent : Full AI
Genious : Full AI, 25 % economic bonus
Incredible : Full AI, 100 % economic bonus
My problem is that I am nowhere good ennough to play at intelligent yet and I won't be for some as I don't have that much time to get to know the game perfectly (busy period at univ right now)
Therefore, I'd like to play at the full AI, but give the AI a 25 % economic penalty. So that I can experience the full strength of your AI design without getting crushed within one hour of gameplay let's say. Does anyone know how, or can Stardock perhaps include this possibility in the future ?
