Yeah, a high number of AIs is actually a bad thing. As someone mentioned in another thread, a large galaxy with medium # of AI (I use Empire/Neutral mix) makes for strong competition (I also use medium bonus).

I've tried this and I'm currently playing my best game of SE4 yet. The 200+ systems in the galaxy are split between only 5 empires (and 1 or 2 neutrals), and I've been fighting a 7-year stalemate against the Xi'Chung Hive (grrr, organic tech). Right now I'm at war with everyone, and their intelligence ops are putting a hurt on me (my population got depressed, ruining my once-thriving economy).

To sum it up, a medium # of AI is best on a large map.
