		If you're looking for a harder game, try Proportinos.  I forget all of the circumstances now, but my first game I was getting my butt kicked by the third or fourth turn.  I encountered an alien race, and they immediately turned hostile and was sending out fleets of ships while I was still trying to explore just the next system.  I quit that game, but it was a learning experience.

		There are a few ways to make the game harder and that is not not take advantage of the AI. 
Don't  
Trade with it 
Create Treatys higher than Trade and Reasearch 
There are a few others but I have not played in a long time. 
 
Do Play in Simultaneous mode.  That is much harder.

		The first game I played with the TDM modpack, I lost to a tactic that I don't remember ever seeing in the original game.  Then I said, "Now wait a minute here," and I never fell for that ploy again.  I think that versatility is the key to winning in any game setting.

		I don't speak Spanish either; I just thought the typo looked like a Spanish word.
