I'm looking for a strategy game where the AI doesn't get oodles of bonus resources and other cheat-y advantages just beacuse you crank the difficulty level above Normal.
I'm expecting to hear a lot of games with campaign modes where the odds are stacked against you (which is "fair", as opposed to just giving the CPU empires bonus 50% gold a turn or some other artificial advantage), but what I'd really like is a game where you start on even ground, and then the CPU whips you with skill. You know, kind of like Chess.
Edit: To clarify, strategy games aren't really my strong point, so my "whups you with skill" comment just meant a competent AI that can play the game without some sort of huge advantage (more starting resources or a per-turn resource bonus, etc.)
