In my experience with AIs, which is considerable, m.a@stars is correct in every respect.

If u want any challenge at all u should have at least half HE AIs and no CAs (they just sit around until u kill them). I'd also suggest that if u have AR AIs in the game that u allow yourself only to defend against them until 2460 - otherwise u can just pick off all those Starter Colonies with single X-Ray scouts or send 2-3 reasonable CCs to kill the SDs.

I agree that fewer AIs is best - I'd suggest 8. Allow AI alliances - it doesn't make things much tougher & they still don't trade techs but it helps a little.

Dogthinker's idea about gening 20 years is good but I'd make it 30 years. I think he's also right re. tech trading for humans - you'll invade quite a lot of small AI planets , particularly the ones that colonise your planets with 1-2.5k pop right next to your HW, & you'll pick up techs that way in the early game & later you'll be so far ahead that you'll be fighting small lowish tech DD fleets when you've got BB Doom/Arma/MegaD.
