My .02:

1) Randomize them, using dice or something. Or invent yourself a storyline, and use the approriate AIs. But you shouldn´t play Ermor, it´s too easy.

2-3): Indeps 5-6, use lots of AIs, some may get lucky. I like one player/7 provinces. (50 province map would have you and 6 AIs.)

4): Use Victory Conditions that end the game, before it gets boring. For example, choose Dominion, with (#towin=#provinces*8).
