If I remember right, the level effects how much and who the game penalizes. (ie you or the AI players...)
The most notable change is production. The AI gets a penalty to it's production for the first few levels. After that it gets bonuses. Also the AI tends to be more aggressive as level incresses.
- It's sort of like whatever side of the dificulty scale you choose, the AI gets the opposite.
The difficulty "Librarian" is considered a fair fight for both the player and the AI.
In "Citizen" the AI is really bogged down and you get a combat bonus. This is for people who are new/horrible at the game. This is a special mode where you don't have to pay for SE changes. The AI is always so friendly
Specialist is a mid way between Citizen and Talant.
Talant gives you a nice game while keeping the AI sort of friendly.
Librarian: The AI won't hold back if they have a grudge with you.
Thinker: The AI gets angry with you fairly fast, the AI factions start off upset at you and may not trade tech with you. The AI also gets slight bonuses.
Transend: The AI gets many unfair bonuses against you. Everyone hates you. Expect sneak-attacks often. Factions may well declare war on you on first meeting.

Confirming:The difficulty "Librarian" is considered a fair fight for both the player and the AI. If possible please tell me which difficulty level you think is the most realistic. (eg. AI don't start a war for no reason, not unrealisticly aggressive, logical...) I always wanted to play a fair and realistic game but couldn't find the correct difficulty level. (Kept losing on Transend)
Thank you.

Well, the Librarian level is a fair fight, and the AI is niether too friendly, nor too aggressive. Librarian may be the most realistic level in the game.

If you browse through many old threads on this forum and if you get (and read) Vel's strategy guide, you'll find transcend quite easy, however.
