I did a search and didn't see anything.
Do we know what changes from difficulty level to difficulty level? I played a couple games on easy, a couple on normal. The normal games were definitely harder than the easy games, but I couldn't pinpoint what was causing them to be harder.
Are there combat bonuses involved?
Is diplomacy different?
Is resource scarcity changed?
Does the AI make different and better decisions about buildings and units? (I've noticed on easy and normal its making some really poor decisions about buildings. Like building a chain mail workshop when it can't build any chainmail units in that city.)
What else?
Also: I'm playing v1.05 on Normal, and finding the game pretty easy. I guess I'll have to try it on hard. But does "hard" just mean "The AI cheats more" or does it mean the AI actually does better?
