Reduce the number of players needed to start a round

I am noticing a big drop off in player numbers compared to even a few weeks ago.

Imho the fact that players are having to sit queueing in lobbies to reach the required minimum players to start, is resulting in players simply giving up all together out of frustration.

I really believe it is time to introduce a single player start (backfilled with AI) to both AOW / Official Portal Experiences so that all remaining players can get into games.
