			multipleSaves = 0;		// Multiple saves
		};
		
		// aiLevelPreset defines AI skill level and is counted from 0 and can have following values: 0 (Low), 1 (Normal), 2 (High), 3 (Custom).
		// when 3 (Custom) is chosen, values of skill and precision are taken from the class CustomAILevel.
		aiLevelPreset = 3;
	};

	class CustomAILevel	{
		skillAI = 0.5;
		precisionAI = 0.5;
    };
}; 

If you now want to start a map with the difficulty, you can do it simply like this via the CONFIG_server.cfg:

class Missions {
    class Mission1 {
  	    template = "coop_01.cam_lao_nam";
            difficulty = "Custom"
	}; 
};
