Once you can win a game on King difficulty, you are winning without handicaps and in fact passing the AI despite its advantages. This is for comparison beyond those difficulties. Reading my Strategy Guide should be enough to help you win on Settler/Chieftain/Warlord and proceed to Prince, so I”m skipping those difficulties here. The lowest settings are for learning the game. Settler, Chieftain, and Warlord greatly affect how easy the game is, as the AI will be stunted in growth both in how long it takes to acquire techs, buildings/units, and social policies. Prince puts everyone on an even playing field. Price is the “Normal” difficulty, and at any point below that the Player will receive bonuses while the AI has penalties. I will cover only the most relevant settings from this file. All of this information can be found in Install Folder /Assets /DLC /Expansion2 /Gameplay /XML /GameInfo /CIV5HandicapInfos.xml.
