I was wondering if anyone had methods in 1.61 DA version to keeping the AI less aggressive on Large systems. I'd like to keep 9 races but on these maps by the time we get to the fun high end techs the computer has bashed itself (without my aid) down to 1-3 races. I then with the tech gap turkey shoot the remaining races. I'd like to try to slow down the game so the AI can actually get time to ramp up some tech versus just pumping out low class ships.

I tried dropping world amounts from abundant to common and it seems the hedgemony has reduced some but the AI is still having an all out slug fest with itself
