PTW multiple difficulty levels by player ?

[ikilledmybroker]

Does anyone know if PTW will allow different human players to be set at different difficulty levels in the same game ?

I don't see how it could because most of the difficulty comes from the bonuses the AI players get (or don't below regent).

they could still have a handicap system.
not all of the difficulty level stuff is based on the AI - the number of units in a city needed to keep it out of dsorder being one.
it'd be kinda cool if it was possible to adjust these levels on a 'per-player' basis, that way we could have a fair and even contest against friends who were much better, or worse, at the game than us.

Yes, "handicap game" seems an interesting concept Is not really impossible to implement it, AFAIK.
More difficult to agree with others human players: my friends wouldn't allow me to gain any handicap bonus: they want to win ASAP, no place for De Cubertein fairplay olimpic rules
