Can I change the difficulty level of a save game in Alpha Centauri?

Question

I have just finished a great game of Alpha Centauri on Thinker level. The randomly generated map was great to play, and I would like to replay it on Transcend level.

I have an early save game; is there any way to change the difficulty level?

I am not looking for a complete save game editor, although that would would be very welcome, just something to change a single byte in the save file (the trick is to know what byte ;-)

Answer 1

As far as I know, there is no way to edit difficulty of a saved game. You can only change difficulty at the start of a new game entirely.
