Yes, the player and the AI both get the settings on normal difficulty. When you increase the difficulty the AI gets a multiple of these. The multipliers are listed in several places in the forum.
And as for getting thumped, the purpose is not to humiliate you, it is to enable you to learn that a single military strategy will not work and you have to learn how to inegrate the military, forging, magic spell and summoning components into your game. I suggested two nations to start with that you can use just a military strategy that will usually be successful on a small map. But when you move up in map size you will find that one dimensional strategies do not work and the larger map will show that the AI is a very competent and challenging opponent until you learn a lot more of the game. This is the most significent difference between this game and CIV. In CIV a strategy that works will always work. In this game you will use different strategies for different nations and even for different starting neighbor opponents.
Then you can go back to a small map, try a different nation, such as Ermor and see that the nation change requires a totally different military strategy because the troops of the Heims are very good in the early game and Ermor are of more average quality.
