Some other hints:

- avoid lots of water and water nations [AI cannot deal with attacking water]
- set AI to aggressive
By which BI version I mean resources, gold, or both?

A few things here:

You cannot change the AI settings when using a modded AI. I do use very difficult research settings and gold at 50. I also use resources and supplies at 300. The main reasons for this is playing on such a big map you need to scale things back so they dont get out of control. I used to play with half or normal resouces but I maxed that to see if it would help the AI. I am getting about the same results. As you can see on the map I do use water and all water nations but that is not really the problem. The only thing I am trying to improve on is early expansion...whatever happens later is fine with me!
