Effect of Advantage?

[MarkWayneClark]

So far I have only plaid the AI. My first few games I gave myself an advantage. I notice that it really upped my income.

What happens when I give the AI an advantage? (All my recent games have been even). Does it just give the computer more stuff or does it also cut back on my income?

Thanks.

The answer is yes. Giving a side an advantage increases their war % and at the same time cuts the disadvantaged sides % by (I believe) 10% per level of advantage. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong). The computer will also get more stuff

Do you find it is still easy to beat the AI even when it has an advantage? Even with the max advantage?

At max advantage, you have to move rapidly. That's because the max advantage gives the AI a huge labs edge. If it takes you too long, you'll be facing an enemy many tech levels better than you across the board. That makes it very tough.
