low tech, small quad, med AI, High diff, High bonus, high tech cost. of course, you have to turn on the 'all-humans vs all-ai' setting, use 0 points for yourself and 5000 points for the ai. I would suggest either a 1 or 3 planet start, with low starting resources, and no better than average planets.

odds are, you will lose. the high bonus really kicks your *** starting from a low tech start, esp with the high cost. since its a small quad, you wont be able to establish enough of a production base to outproduce the AI, so you have to play smart. also, the computer cant get big enough for their empires to start falling appart of their own accord
