Is it true that the AI gets better if you set research to "easy"? I've read some posts about it but never really experiensed a change myself.

I would think that might apply to certain nations more than others. Depending on their tendency to use various spells.

Come to think of it I guess it might also apply to nations which have a tendency to create items.

The problem is that its difficult to test such things because of all of the variables in any game you play with them. In the early days of beta-testing for Dom3 I would create 20 games full of AIs on my server, auto-run them thru 100 turns, save the score files then start 20 more. It eventually gave me some answers as to how well certain nations did against each other or in different game settings. I think it was helpful but I havent done any of those for a couple years now.
