What does AI difficulty do? Does it increase AI resources or just change their behavior?
I had an AI surprise me by moving a Vampire Queen around.

I usually keep Ermor and both water races out of my early games.

AI difficulty seems to change some actions. Putting it higher apparently makes it more able to handle higher indep settings and long games where more should be spent on research. Setting the AI really high, then using small maps or low indep settings to rush them, is what led demo players to think the AI was worthless.
