Everyone except Ermor and the water nations. Or maybe allow Atlantis.

Be sure to set the indepts to 5 or higher. Setting indepts lower than 5 is only if you want to face the AIs soon and swarming

You may leave out Caelum (AI doesn't play it well) and Mictlan (AI doesn't know about blood sacr. to spread dominion, AFAIK) as well ... .
Things are much easier with 12 AI. But set indies to 7 max., or some AIs will never make it out of their home province.
