I don't know about everyone else, but the large majority games seem to run with an independent strength of about 6, and a magic site frequency of about 50. This seems to be more or less standard and few objectors exist. Everything else is somewhat variable. Map size is strongly dependent on the number of players.

2) Which settings (create new game) are needed to calculate a result in your eyes ( Nations, AI Difficulty, Mapsize... )
AIs are practically never used in a multiplayer game, unless somebody gets botted. Nations, mapsize, all are highly variable, often chosen by user preference and cannot in any way determine "difficulty": Difficulty is more often decided by the players you will be facing, with randomness in starting position having a greater effect with lower mean seperation distance, with seperation distance being directly proportional to the square root of the map size and the square of the number of players. A lower seperation distance tends to increase the effects of randomness in starting positions and generally results in early knockouts with players that start off in weaker positions.
