Multiplayer difficulty settings don't make sense?
We just started a new game, I put it at settler difficulty because i'm new.
My friend is one prince, we set one AI to Warlord.

The game setup doesn't say what any of these difficulties do.. (why??).

Anyway, I googled difficulty and this came up:
https://civ6.fandom.com/wiki/Game_difficulty

We are so confused. What bonuses do we get?
So if we pick Diety we get +32% to culture and science?
I though diety was supposed to be harder?

No the AI get the bonuses on Deity and as far as I know you can't have multiple difficulty settings in the same game. but I don't play multiplayer so I won't set that in stone.

no, AI get that bonus at deity, not player.

deity AI also starts with 3 settlers, 5 warriors and 2 builders.

Ok, so what do we get? I'm a settler, he's a prince. What's the difference?

Read through the charts you posted for the ones that say "player" in their title. For example, the +32% science you mentioned specifies "AI Bonus" at the top, while further down in combat and xp scaling you have "Combat Player Bonus", which gives your units +3 strength if you are on Settler. Overall the difficulties are much less impactful in multiplayer than in singleplayer, but it still makes a bit of difference.

You CAN have multiple difficulty setting in the SAME game in MultiPlayer. You can do this even if you are playing MultiPlayer solo. The drop down menu for each CIV that sets the difficulty level can be different for each CIV. So you can have yourself playing on KING difficulty while having other AI CIVs on different Difficulty settings, say Emperor or Prince. I do it all the time in MultiPlayer.

Good Luck and good gaming.
