Try the Really Advanced Setup mod. You can give your civ more starting buffs to make up the difference in handicap for fairness.

However! The reason I highlighted that one in particular is that all of these people play below Noble (Prince on Civ5). Where the Human receives Bonuses against the AI and is, in fact, the one who is cheating.

This is false, I have never told you anything over IRC. In fact I never venture in the Imp Zone IRC channel anymore because you kept telling me weird coprophilia based facts about yourself without any prompting or response from myself.
