High Difficulty (light version)

This mod increases the difficulty by buffing the AI. The changes will result in more armies, better developed cities and therefore more elite units aswell. It might not be the most elegant way, to make the game harder but it is definitely is an effective one.

Compatibility:
Works for me with SFO but I never tested it with Radious. Obviously, you shouldn't use it with mods that change the same values as listed below. If you do, it (most likely) won't crash your game but it won't work properly either.
