If you set the AI to low bonus(2x),don't you think that might be too much of an increase now that no bonus is tougher?
Wouldn't 1.5x,2x,3x be better for low,mid,and high bonus'?
Well, it depends on the instructions the AI is using in the various config files. I've been modding my files, and I seem to have hit the colony config pretty well. Almost all of the AI empires have more resources than I have. But I'm well ahead in research and intel generation. Maybe it has to do with the better organization that I can do as a 'human' while the AIs are just mechanically following the scripts. If the AIs were smarter about this or had the "low" bonus of doubled production I'd be in deep trouble, I think. But others might do better and some actually enjoy the challenge of fighting against a dramatically more powerful opponent. Currently, I'm in a three-way contest with the Praetorians and the Xiati for #1 spot in the scores ranking. Having to struggle to win is enough competition for me, but if you want to use the AI bonuses and fight a lop-sided contest I guess you can.
