Gifted AI intelligence?

What does it do?
I can't find it in manual.
Intelligenct opponent has 100% economy and all AI algorithms,
Genius has 125% economy and all AI algorithms,
But Gifted is in between and not documented anywhere.

Also, what exactly mean last 2 levels of game difficulty which don't increment AI intelligence?

It's a level just in-between those two added, IIRC, in the first patch.

After Inelligent/Tough the AI doesn't get any smarter, it just gets bonuses like free tech or economy boosts, etc.

I ment levels after Masochistic (Obsene and Suicidal), they all have Incredible AI like Masochistic (200% Economy).
So what's the other non-AI related thing that makes them more difficult.

P.S.
If Gifted AI is less then 125% economy Genious is, I guess I'll skip it and go straight for Crippling difficulty (with genious AI).
Intelligent was too tame for me...

I think i read somewhere that suicidal doubles the race bonuses ( starting bonuses and resource/wonders ) i didnt win vs masochistic yet on this patch but i did it few times in the betas. If u wanna try on masochistic heres my advice : DONT PLAY VS TORIANS

Gifted is probably the best "equal" or "fair" battle between human and computer. It gets just a touch of extra stuff in order to compensate with natural round off and other misc. minor errors the AI makes in its calculations.

Something close to 5-10% economy bonus?
