Large quadrant
If you cram too many AIs into a small map it makes for a lesser challenge rather than a more difficult game (which doesn't at first seem very logical.) If you want to use a smaller map, use less AIs.
Thing is, most AIs like a few empty systems around them to develop into before they flick into "war" mode. Trust me, give them some space and you will notice an improvement. Once they start to develop they can be really powerful, and of course utterly relentless.

This is just to the amount of black hole, nebula and dead systems which can really cripple an AI.

AIs can handle being isolated, but not as well as a human can. Their research and production is better spent on weapons=-)

warp points anywhere in system.
Helps with AI navigation / resupply moronities.
