i played against the rage with a big map in classic. got bored and quit when it became quite clear it was all over but slogging through there systems. i want an ai that ignore's early and somewhat mid-game defence in favor of building up - colony techs, computer tech, planatary utilization tech.

perhaps the Earth Alliance then. IIRC they concentrate on development and build up a very good economy, if left alone.
Do I understand you right? You want to play on a huge map against only one AI?
I think that you will have a very easy and boring time, since you will colonize and develop much more efficient than the AI.
Perhaps at least 3 good TDM AI and use AI vs human option.
