Does Difficulty level effect production

[BDIZZLE356]

I started a custom game as Russia on guick game speed and got about 100 turns in before realizing i forgot to change the diff level to prince, during the game tho i was able to build alot of units and buildings very fast which i expected being in quick mode, but when i re started with all the same settings but in prince dif all the units buildings seem to take alot longer to build.

difficulty level makes the ai build things insanely faster, and i think (unconfirmed) it sows you down slightly. it oculd just be that you started in a different location with different resources and/or your build queue was different

Yep it affects on production. If you hover mouse on the total food production of your empire, you will see how much exactly difficulty level bites from supply. there is a notification. The higher dificulty level - the more it bites. That's simple.
