Re: Difference Between Difficulty Levels
I think the computer gets more points to spend on their pretender god and scales at the higher difficulty levels. So while it's possible to get more gold as an impossible AI, it's not guaranteed. They can still choose magic paths or dominion and take bad scales.
As far as "cheating" the computer does have access to information that it shouldn't such as which provinces you own and your national army size and strength. But it also has many disadvantages to offset its limited omniscience.
This is just what I've gleaned from other posts, you probably want to confirm this info on your own.
