Why game is so easy?

Excactly which AI is that (and what setup are you using) ?

There is a vast difference in the quality of the AI's. Some are very stupid, others just a bit daft . Make sure you pick some decent ones (using latest Versions and patches) and give them a bonus. If it's still easy for you with High bonus, then you are ready for the big league (KOTH on PBW)

What game settings are you using?
What AI's are involved?
Are you playing a simultaneous game?

It does happen sometimes even with best AIs - when AI homeworld is very close and it has no bonuses. AI in the "attack" state does not wait for the correct number of "turns before next attack" and send understrength fleets. But it seldom occurs with TDM AIs on high bonuses.

I use High Bonus and High Difficult for AI, but I did not select AI. How I can do it? I thought that I can select only human player race.

I use Turn Based Movement.

You can always add few more empires (if .emp file is provided, of course), not only yours. Then edit those empires and turn them onto AI control.

Still, it is quite odd that TDM AI with high bonus does not master big fleets Start a new game then. It may be some silly loop in AI procedure exposed by particular game setup.

Did you try AIC mod yet ?

Ok if I understand your question, all you need to do is click on the Option Icon, upper left hand corner, and select players. Then just click the check circle next to the races you want the AI to control. A green dot will appear signifying that they are now under AI control.

You can add more than one empire in game setup. For the empires that you want to be AI controlled, simply edit them and turn on the Controlled by AI option. You can do it before starting the game. Most races come with empire files.
