Hmmm... I kind of lack an option for "Find SP with the current AI enjoyable, but would love improvements in this area".

you need an entry for "The single player AI is no better than decent, but the game is so complex that until you pick up the learning curve it seems impossibly hard and then gets exponentially easier"

Thats how it seems to me anyway. Right now i probably couldnt win a game with arceseophale set on normal but i can 9 indep/impossible AI games with Ermor, Marignon, Abysia, Caelum, R'lyeh, Pangea. (all the easier ones, in order that i learned them). Its all very relative, which is why the more scragly veterans have to modify maps to make it everyone vs them, or just play MP.

Good point Cheezeninja...

That's funny, cheezeninja, I found C'tis, Tien Chi, Vanheim, Man, Pangaea and Marignon to be easy ones. Abysia, Ermor, and Caelum trounce me often, while Ulm, Arcosephale, Pythium (dunno why, on paper they seem kinda weak), Machaka, Jotunheim, and the sea races are impossibly hard for me.

Without buying Fishermen or Ship Wrecker mercs to storm a sea province, I can't get to the oceans quick enough to stop an R'lyeh or Atlantian threat. Raids from the oceans is also hard to stop for me, since one ocean province borders on a lot of land provinces.

Advice?

Edit: I voted for SP is fun and AI is good.

Good poll.
