Check Difficulty after starting?

[Blinkicide]

Is there a way to check the difficulty after you start a game?

I wondered that too, also what bonuses does AI get with hard and insane levels? Can't find answer to that anywhere

I found a way to check difficulty. In diplomacy with a species I moused over alliance and it showed the "insane" adjustment factor to get them into an alliance. Really just needed it to double check I didn't click normal at startup.

There is no "hard" difficulty, only "Ensign" and "Captain" etc.

Lol. Settle down there, necromancer. There was a hard difficulty back when this dessicated corpse you starting fiddling with was relevant.
