I'm up to out-finessing 7 Impossible AIs in medium sized random maps, even with relatively weak nations, and without SCs. Yay!

Should I be setting them to Offensive? I just have em set to Random behavior... at least that way most of the talent on the map seems to be making a beeline for me (for some reason) instead of randomly bashing away at their neighbors.

On your computer browse into the docs folder and read the map edit PDF document. It will allow you to setup one or more AI's as allies, allow you to give the AI's growth scales, and more.
