Recently I played with few newbies and I've seen a bit and heard from one of them that they tried 3 humans vs 1 cpu easy and they had a "difficult battle".
The whole problem is on the beginning when cpu is spending starting resources mostly for warriors pretty fast and is starting attacks when newbies are still trying ~ to finish first barracks.
Problem is quite serious because affects also single player (& easiest scenarios) and may scare away some newbies.

My initial idea is to take into account cpu's multilier and on the beginning of the battle (once) multiply starting resources (but only) if multiplier is <1.0 so e.g. cpu easy (with default 0.5) will get 2x less starting resources :).
