I guess if you gave the AI bonuses it would increase the challenge. However, I think that on most settings, the AI gets the same advantages (or disadvantages) as you. So IMO, setting "colonize same planet type / atmos" does nothing but slow the game down. If this is NOT the case, then it would be worth playing IMO (again just my opinion).

EDIT: I normally play most of those settings anyways. However, I NEVER play low tech and no WP's together - you gotta' play at least 100+ turns just to get outa' your system!!!! If I play no WP's, I'll move up to med tech - other then that, I usually play those settings. I guess I'm saying, that those things are cool as long as you can turn 'em off and on - for me right now, they're off...
