It would be great to know the resource handicap of AoE3 since I noticed that Expert computer players have great advantages to resources generation, while Hard still have some resource generation bonus (since they usually upgrade to second age faster than usual and appear with an army at your base right after.)

P.S.: It would really be great if devs made AI more competent in fighting rather than giving them resources handicap bonuses... There is no way to practice a real game against an AI if all resourcelike strategies are denied because handicap while lower AI dificulties don't mass produce armies as soon as they could.

It simply take away all the early game fun of fighting for those treasures and stress the player out to make super-defensive/age-rush strategies just to find out in late-game that the ai does not know how to aim their mass produced cannons against your foot troops, giving you a free victory with tons of resources unexpended.
