Unfortunately game does not work in SP on big maps. The thing getting out of control will happen, no matter what settings you use. And lowering gold and resources hurts AI [especially when you add higher indies].

If your goal is to improve their early game I'd suggest just adding some starting units to the map file. If you want to give them melee SC you should use #clearmagic, so he goes to melee instead of casting stupid spells.
