Editing the game to make it Harder and more difficult .XML. file?

[nightangel]

I was looking to edit my game to make the AI a bit harder without having to do self imposed challenges
Already playing on maximum hardest setting

I wanted to know if the thrawns revenge mod does it use the  DIFFICULTYADJUSTMENTS.XML. file
As per this topic  https://steamcommunity.com/app/32470/discussions/0/154642447927619032/

Or the a different file that I would need to edit

I was looking to remove the delay on the AI starts moving their fleets around and start taking planets

As far as I know, ICW does use DifficultyAdjustments.XML. It's located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\32470\1125571106\Data\XML\DifficultyAdjustments.xml

You can copy and paste the folder line above into your File Explorer to directly open the file, or you can remove "\DifficultyAdjustments.xml" to immediately go to the XML folder for all the configs.
