Or make better use of current difficulty levels:

easy:   H_RATES | H_TARGETS | H_HUTS | H_DEFENSIVE | H_DIPLOMAT
medium: H_RATES | H_TARGETS | H_HUTS
hard:   H_NONE

None uses "medium", since it is too similar to "easy", I believe. If we
made it

easy:   H_RATES | H_TARGETS | H_HUTS | H_DEFENSIVE | H_DIPLOMAT
medium: H_RATES | H_DIPLOMAT
hard:   H_NONE

instead, there would be more difference between them.

(In order to get really nasty AIs to play against, you can use the teams
patch so make all the AIs start out allied. Since they don't give each
other's cities and settlers danger, they will expand more. Since they have
less targets, they will attack you more.)
