Best results I have gotten for a game involve the following...
Medium or Small spiral map,
Use Similtaneous(sp?) play (sim-move, like pbw)...no tactical combat...
High AI difficulty,
Medium/or High AI bonus,
Races: Rage, Aquilaeian, Xi'Chung, Pundion, Torons, (and non tdm- the Zorians, or Orks)
Use 5000 point empires for the AI, 2000 or 3000 for yourself.
Be creative, don't just go straight for PPB's, take Grav Hellbores, or Torp's...
Medium Tech Start (less theory for the AI to get, more time for weapons), with LOW or Medium tech cost.
3 planets to start, full resources/good planets as well, if you don't want all the extra research points, just waste them...But they do the AI tonnes of good.
Anyway...just the way I like to play... 
won't these changes make even the standard difficult ?

Re: TDM use for the first time
For best results use a good planet, a large medium age galaxy, no neutrals and no more then 6 or 7 AIs. More AIs only means more borders for the AI and it will not build up quite as good as if it has some room for colonization.

Note that it's also possible to turn off tactical combat during setup on a sequential move game; you don't necessarily have to play simultaneous move.

My first mod! Hypermaze quadrant
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
