Re: Difficulty... is the computer too easy?
Try the "AI Team mode" in the game setting. In my experience it helps the AI a lot if he faces only one enemy (you!) instead of fighting multiple wars.

Re: Difficulty... is the computer too easy?
Ive noticed that some of the add-on races seem to be the same race twice. The description reads "offshoots" or "the military forces of". And Ive seen (mostly in error notices Im cleaning up) references which seem to point to AI preferences for alliances. Are any of these dual races setup to automatically form friendships with each other when they both appear in a game?
(if not then that would be a nice addition, the ability to preset certain automatic +/- to certain other races)

Sadly this is not possible in SEIV, Gandalf.

Too bad. It would be interesting. I also would have loved to do the game option I had in Dominions 2 of being able to generate a game with random alliances between the AIs

Fyron is right. PBW is the place to learn humility (speaks with deep voice of own experience).

Re: Difficulty... is the computer too easy?
Including that feature in SE5 or something even more useful would be good.

Re: Difficulty... is the computer too easy?
Do not glass planets. Instead only capture them. It is much harder.
When you do go to PBW expect to have a lot of nice shiny time pieces as the more vetran players clean your clock.
Truthfully there are a lot of vetran players who will be happy to help you as well and there are frequently "newbie" games running.
You can also PBEM with someone to mentor you.
I'd offer but I am too unreliable.
