Ai and Finite Games

[Makinus]

I�m using SEIV with Devnull Mod with some personal modifications (like the research at a fifth of the normal rate) and wish to play Finite games but i noticed that the AI is weaker in Finite Games than in the traditional ones (I normally play with a Low AI bonus to compensate for Remote Mining that the AI don�t use)...

Is there any way (beyond increasing the Ai bonus) to make the Ai more competitive in finite games?

Another question: if i set (in settings.txt) so Remote Mining don�t decrease the % of resources in a finite game RM will deacrease the resources or not?

thanks

The AIC mod supposedly handles finite resources well, so why don't you check that mod out, either to play it or for some inspiration?
