What now????

I think the AI's new intolerence for pushy human players (as mentioned in the Up To Date Beta thread) will help make the game more difficult. One of the problems now is that it is too easy for the human player to pick his (or her) battles. I'm rarely forced into a multi-front battle until the Mega Evil Empire setting kicks in. If the AI had more of a tendancy to start fights when they aren't convenient for the human players, it'd be a more difficult opponent.
