Most commonly used game settings

[Jiggymike]

Just finished my first game of Dominions 3 in about two years (I've started others but can't remember if I actually finished them. Put the game down and forgot to pick it back up but really loved it when I did). So far, I've only played against the computer with the default game settings. With all the changes that have been made to the game, can anyone tell me if there are some 'standard' setting that are now used by most players, either in games vs the CPU or PvP games? Also if these involve mods, please let me know as I don't have any of those either but plan on investigating them. Thanks!
