	What does artificial intelligence default difficulty level mean? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

It could mean two things:
1. The first is that when you go to make a new game, that is the default option. So if it were set to chieftan, then when you made a game it would show the difficulty to chieftan. If it were set to Deity, then when you went to make a game it is set to Deity.

2. It is totaly independent of what difficulty you chose. But instead determines how smart the AI is.

I did search the forums for this but came up with nothing.

It determines the "difficulty level" for the AI civs. For example, on regent, cities start with 2 content citizens. When the default AI difficulty level is set to Regent, their cities will start with 2 content citizens because they are playing at "Regent."

Thus, for the standard bic file, the AI always plays at Regent, regardless of whether the human plays at Chieftain through Deity.

So putting defeault difficulty at diety will make it harder for the AI?

	Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

really? That's interesting! Thus, you could actually play on a level playing field at Deity, if you ignore all those extra units. Just imagine playing on Deity with the default set to Chieftain!
