Difficulty level doesn't change new opponents

All AI opponents default to fool, but the difficulty level setting only changes the intelligence of opponents currently enabled, not those enabled later. Therefore if I have four opponents and the difficulty set to Tough, all four will be intelligent. If I now change the number of players to five then the Yor are introduced, but the Yor intelligence is set to Fool even though the difficulty is at Tough. If I up the difficulty to the next setting all enabled AIs, including the Yor, change to Gifted. Knock it down to Tough and all enabled AIs, Yor included, become Intelligent.
