Sliding Difficulty / Late Game Emporer

[Jet]

@DarkSchneider: you might be able to make the late game harder by enabling Permanent Alliances, but refusing to enter into one yourself.

I had no idea about Blake's AI! Thanks for posting it! I agree about long term planning -- and the issue of people not wanting to play can be solved quite easily by scaling back the bonuses at each level. Imagine an accomplishment being beating the AI on a level playing field...that would be an achievement!

I think I'll give Blake's a try!
