Difficulty Levels

[Hippias]

Hello

Been playing this since Day 1, so probably should know the answer myself, but does anyone know what would give the harder game experience:

Medium difficulty, with AI Bonuses on or Hard difficulty, with AI Bonuses off?

I prefer turtling to blitzing, and have usually downloaded the mod with AI Bonuses off, but was wondering how it would be to leave them on, and perhaps play at a lower difficulty level?

I think the AI bonuses make a bigger difference, though it depends a little on what campaign you play. Some factions face a lot of potential enemies from the start, so the higher AI aggression level on hard might make a bigger difference.
