Slowing down the computer players:

#1 Turn the independent strength UP when you start a game. The AI is not as smart as you about choosing who he should attack.

#2 Turn the resources up. It makes the AI spend money on cheap independent troops. To make the AI smarter later on you turn resources down so that he makes more national troops.

#3 Start with more AIs. Not too many but if you start with only one or two then you become a target fast.

#4 Play on bigger maps

#5 Play for Victory points. The AI is not as smart about going for the provinces with stars on them.
