Which AI?

from Elemental Forums

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows which AI difficulties cheat and which don't? Which one do you like best to play against?

I want to play vs the best ai that doesn't have cheating stats. Just started on hardest and they have 270hp guys vs my 15hp ones :/

I pretty much want to play skirmish games to prepare for multiplayer. AIs are never as fun as real players. :)

I think challenging is the first one with 100% AI without cheating. They get a minor starting resource bonus but that's it.

Can someone confirm this? I thought I read elsewhere that normal was 100% AI that does not cheat.

you find confirmation in the CoreDifficultyLevels.xml File in your game directory \data\English\ - there it is written that from difficulty level Challenge and above the AI plays on full level. On Challenge it just gets a slight Gold bonus but apart of that no further boni.
