Re: Game Over!!
Not sure if its already been mentioned but as a starting point you might try turning up the independents quite abit. Many early players think that weak indepts make it an "easy" game but it actually just helps the AI to rush you.
You are generally smarter than the AI as far as who to attack. If the indepts are 5 or higher then the player will hold back on the first turn to SEE who is nearby, then attack the province they think they can win. The AI just picks a direction and attacks. If the indepts are weak then the ai can grow quickly winning all the local battles. If the indepts are strong then the ai wastes his first set of troops usually, and sometimes even their god.
