Increasing the number of warriors it builds at the beginning (and stopping it from spamming all those scouts) would do a lot to help. There's no reason that an AI civ should have a higher chance than a human player of being eliminated in the early game. (In fact, it should be lower at high difficulty levels.)

Civs die, that's the nature of things. Are they dying early in great numbers? I haven't seen that and those that do are usually victims of other early civs. Sure, occasionally Orthus will knock some unfortunate out (that's his job description) - though he's just as likely or more to end up with his head on a pole.
Respawned civs, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage against a civ that's been around for 30, 40. 50 turns?
If you want to help it more, add things like UNITAI_ATTACK, UNITAI_CITY_DEFENSE, etc. (basically anything except UNITAI_EXPLORE) to the 'NotUnitAIs' section in the XML for Scouts. That should cut down the numbers they build and stop it from using them for things it shouldn't be (like trying to defend its cities from Orthus).
It still builds quite a few for exploration, however. Basically, any time a scout gets killed it seems to build another one. I think this is more a symptom of scouts being a bit crap in FfH, though. Even with the bonus vs. animals, they're just not strong enough to be very useful and tend to die very quickly once the first animal/barb spawns start.
