Smoother Difficulty 2.0 (updated for GS WITHOUT tourism scaling)
***
This is a straight update of the original smoother difficulty 1.4 by RushSecond for Gathering Storm. For a version which also adds tourism bonus for the AI to make them more competitive at cultural victory

Changes difficulty levels so AI gets less starting bonuses, but more constant bonuses so they keep up in production and tech throughout the game. Updated for GS.
The main things this mod does are:
– remove extra starting settlers for AI in high difficulties
– make science and culture bonus for high difficulty AI increase with era
– add two new difficulties

I’ve updated the mod for Gathering Storm, by setting a load order so it loads after DLCs, and adding scaling for future era.
