Choosing enemies and setting up the game can also help.

Choose the number of enemy nations according to the numbers of provinces on the map you choose. If you want to have lots of time (and provinces) before you meet an enemy, have one nation per every 25-30 provinces of the map. So for a 100-province map, you would play against 2 or 3 enemy players, with yourself as the third or the fourth.

Higher independent settings slow down everyone, but usually they slow the AIs down more than you. Set independent strength up to 6 when you are setting the game up. In the same screen, choose the Rich world, and up the amount of magic sites. This way you can experience with more things at once. Normal research is fine; magic is so powerful that in MP, research is often set to Hard or even Very Hard. If you want to try Luck, set Random events to Common (still the same screen).
