In my first couple of weeks in the game i struggle too - playing on medium map with 3 normal AI opponents. I have no problems 1 on 1 against them, but struggle when I get hit on two fronts. Last game I tried to rush my nearest neighbour to rpevent that, and took out his capital and most of his army, but got hit at home before I could finish him off, resulting in a 2 front war that was pretty much a stalemate

In my current game I seem to be doing better (despite copping an affliction on my wyrm pretender in my first battle) and have hopes of winning, but we'll see!

what i'm gathering is the need to be more efficient with my armies. In order to build the size of armies I currently need to bash the AI around, i end up economy starved, and tend to take what are probably excessive casualties. Presumably some better choices and use of equipment are what's in order. Or perhaps fewer researchers sitting at home and more investment in research items in stead, in order to cut the costs somewhat. We'll see, its great to have a game where there is so much to learn
