I want to get pummeled to death by 6+ AIs in v0.4.10.2. How to do this?
The single-player menu does not offer the possibility to put all AIs into the same team.
I wanted to edit the turn1 save game to put them all into the same team manually, but the save file is some weird horror show of (supposedly) compressed encoded XML inside XML. I can see some empire definition structures like

There is an option to disable XML compression in the options other tab. Change that from the options menu on the spash screen, load your save, resave it, and the result should be all "readable" text. That can be edited and loaded, then resaved with XML compression re-enabled, if you want.

they are way stronger if they have two homeworlds
Hmm, good idea. How to do this? More editing of save game?

probably that will be most efficient.
when AI was more aggressive that happened by itself (dunno 0.4.8 maybe?). you just had to have a lot of ai and some of those made it into conquering a neighbor.
else, multiplayer to set up the game manually and then give the empires to AI.
also maybe there are some development options in game; somebody was working on this i think
else, tweaking the AI to understand alliance better
