Elite AI Games/Custom Games

I know that some features should be offered only to the paid users, but changing custom games to be a paid only feature is a little annoying.

I prefer to play on elite AI because it is slightly harder to take over non-player countries. I now find it difficult to get into games of my likely and have enough slots to play with friends.

I don't want to play with new guys either. They just attack anything that they can get there hands on right away. I enjoy the role play and use of diplomacy. The combat in this game is a little odd in the way that any unit that you can attain mass numbers of is good. Take that with a grain of salt as I am quite salty about the light tank spam.

I feel that it would be much better if there were more options for people like my friends and I.
