Re: AI position(on random generated maps)
If you choose "Large Random Map" it will generate a map with 20 provinces per player. That tends to give you MAYBE 5 provinces between you. If you have more or fewer AIs then the map size just changes accordingly and the effect is the same. I do understand. That isnt really enough room for some of the nations and some of the tactics they would use.
But if you go to "Game Tools" and do "Random Map Creator" then you can generate a map where the number of provinces is higher than 20 per AI. You can generate a map as large as 1500 provinces (if your machine has enough memory) and then you can play with 20 nations at 75 provinces per nation. 
By the way, I enjoy my games more with sea set to 20 and mountains to 50. That creates less ocean and lots of strategic chokepoints you can exploit. If your machine takes forever trying to generate a large map then you can download a couple that I made for the same reason.
