Difference in AI difficulty levels

Its 90% just setting how many starting points the AI gets in creating its pretender and scales. So "normal" AI gets the same as you do (but doesnt play it as well)

The bonuses are actually far more important than the points. An extra 240 points is enough to swing from Turmoil-3 to Order-3 (about a 50% gold boost), but an Impossible AI gets a 100% gold boost on top of that. Same thing for gems and research, the AI bonus is worth way more than anything you could buy with points.
