What are the differences in the 6 Levels? Also I've Restarted the map of Planet a few times and have noticed that you start pretty much in a few set areas. What are the odds of landing in each area? Also why is there 3 people so close together while a couple others get a big landmass to grow before meeting up w/ someone? Finally, when do you start w/ a premade colony pod?
Thanx

To my knowledge, here are SOME of the effects of difficulty.
More drones - you get them a lot quicker.
Harder combat - seems to weighted towards you on the easist.
Opponents more aggresive - they will declare vendetta with a lot less motivation.
There are minimum difficulty levels for some effects, eg Prototypes cost no extra on the easier difficulties, society change costs increase with difficulty, colony pods cost no population of the easier.
There are probably more.
