Here's one that should test the mettle of the Sparta lovers

I originally set it up as a Head to Head (Sparta vs Cult) but in
playtesting (I played Sparta and the Cult) I got trounced as Sparta
three times, even after successive dumbing down of the AI

Oh, I did give them a slight advantage, with three bases founded in 2100
(whereas you start with 3 Colony pods) and gave their HQ's a rec
commons, recycling tanks and a perim defense (a NN for the Pirates in
lieu of rec tanks and to the Hive in lieu of their inbuilt perim
defense). Plus mild terrain enhancements (but you'll find these for your
bases too)

You'll be Santiago, on Transcend level, large map at 50% water, average
everything, directed research, spoils on, all victory conditions except
co-op activated, and iron man.

AI diplomacy is tweaked so you'll have obstinate allies (if you find them) and rabid antagonists (they'll find you).

Good luck
