AI in Multiplayer

[Zlob]

Hi!

I've got a question. Today I was fighting with AI on multiplayer. I saved game, because I needed to go out. When I clicked on my saved game, I noticed information about difficulty, just like with campaign save. Is there any way to change AI difficulty?
Thanks.

Nope. Difficulty has no effect on AI anyway. Difficulty usually affects the gold of enemy sides in single player (but can affect almost anything the campaign's creator wanted, even different scenarios; but only things the creator of the campaign chose). I think that the line difficulty="NORMAL" in multiplayer saves are just to fill a necessary value in the save file's header. In multiplayer, you usually adjust the difficulty by giving a certain amount of gold to the enemy sides.
There are ways for scenario-makers to implement some kind of difficulty systems into multiplayer, but that cannot be done with the standard difficulty settings.
