8 - Units cost the AI less to Upgrade to a more advanced Unit.

We are lucky they do not all seek Diplomatic Victory, or they'd probably be able to get it every time. This is how the AI can have massive amounts of Gold at times.

7 - Buildings and Units require less Upkeep as well.

The way the AI beats you to Wonders is the combined effect of lower tech costs and free Techs, essentially giving them a head start.

6 - Buildings and Units cost fewer Hammers to the AI, meaning it will not take as much Production to build them.

5 - AI Cities take less Food to grow - the base amount reduced by this percentage.

This, combined with their starting Happiness of 15, is how the AI can spam so many Cities while continuing to remain in the positive. I believe this means a Deity-level AI would have ~67.5% Unhappiness compared a Human as a result (I'm multiplying 90% by 75%). The AI gets this cut by 10%, then multiplied by their Difficulty-based Unhappiness Modifier to reduce it further. Cities generate 3 Unhappiness + 1 Per Population normally. 4 - The AI, by default, always has 90% of the Player's Unhappiness from Cities and Population.3 - AI Policy and Tech Costs are cheaper, which helps them afford those Policies despite their tendency to spam Cities.Deity AI begin with Pottery, Animal Husbandry, Mining, Archery, and The Wheel.

They get each Tech listed, plus those in previous columns.

2 - On King, the AI begins starting with extra Techs, which is why it gets harder to produce Wonders like The Great Library.

The starting Worker on Immortal is significant, but not as powerful as the additional Worker and Settler on Deity Difficulty. Normally, all players begin with a Warrior and Settler.

1 - The AI begins with extra Units starting on King Difficulty.

The AI does not get smarter, it only gets cheaper costs and more Happiness, which allows it to grow and produce buildings/units quickly the higher you raise the difficulty: Civ 5 Difficulty: Player and AI Settings Because of the cumulative effect of AI starting techs, units, and general bonuses, difficulty increases somewhat exponentially each level past Prince. Once you can win a game on King difficulty, you are winning without handicaps and in fact passing the AI despite its advantages. This is for comparison beyond those difficulties. Reading my Strategy Guide should be enough to help you win on Settler/Chieftain/Warlord and proceed to Prince, so I'm skipping those difficulties here. The lowest settings are for learning the game. Settler, Chieftain, and Warlord greatly affect how easy the game is, as the AI will be stunted in growth both in how long it takes to acquire techs, buildings/units, and social policies. Prince puts everyone on an even playing field. Price is the 'Normal' difficulty, and at any point below that the Player will receive bonuses while the AI has penalties. I will cover only the most relevant settings from this file.

First, we'll talk about Difficulty levels as it is the single largest factor in how Civ 5's gameplay will go.

The following will explain many of the game's settings and how they can impact your gameplay - even potential means of exploiting them to win at a difficulty you're not yet ready for.
