I don't really go so much for strategy, and I will willingly squander gems and resources just to get a thematic army.  That sets me back a bit.
 
Also, I heard that people who use CBM rape puppies, and I don't want to be associated with that. |

 I don't use CBM. That said, I play hotseat multiplayer, and nobody other than me uses much other than the game itself, and possibly glances at the wiki periodically. |

I'm surprised at your answer, and interested.  I only play SP, vanilla.  Like you I squander a bit and play around, just to have fun/experiment/theme.  And I am useless  at computer games, not like the experts here!  Yet I am up to "Hard" AI now, and never lose --- I don't think I've even ever lost a single castle to the AI.  Love the game, but finding the AI lacking (not surprisngly, and no I don't have any time/commitment for MP).  Don't do CBM as been told it certainly doesn't help the AI.  So, how do your settings/play help make the AI "challenging", I'd actively like to know?  (Perhaps a different thread?)

Also, I like to play on large maps, like Glory of the Gods, with a bunch of players.  And I sometimes make reckless early game decision which results in slow expansion.  So I often find myself beating back enemies from all sides with only a few dozen provinces to my name.
