Why game is so easy?

AIC is another good mod to have a challenging AIs. It changes the game fabric substantially though, so be warned

Vasiliy, welcome!

Also there is a patch available. The latest is v. 1.84. Be sure to download that too.

Also, make sure you don't have neutral computer empires in the game. They definitely screw up the other computer players because they block expansion.

A "Q" about mods from a new SEIV Gold purchaser...I'm familiar with playing the 1.49 Version on PBW, but I never was in a modded game. Now being the proud owner of 1.84 Gold I notice most games to join are modded...My "Q" is do I have to have the mod installed on my Version to play in that particular game properly...or is the mod only needed for the game owner?

Almost all mods require the players to have the mod on their pc and be using them to be able to play your turn. There are a few exceptions, but very few. The FQM NON-dexule Version is one. The Deluxe FQM however does require you to have the mod. You used to be able to play a TDM game on PBW without the mod, but I am not sure about that anymore. Seems like the recent Versions you had to. But my memory isn't clear on that.

TDM has a modified Formations file, which it has had for years. You must use the TDM data files when playing a TDM PBW game, or you will get data errors.
