Personally, I am getting nailed by the AI!

It might also have to do with the style of play. I also mostly roleplay, and take my time to savor the moments (until it abruptly ends at turn 40, of course). I mostly make contact with the AI around turn 20, and even then it's usually just the skirmishing for the rest of the demo instead of the charge towards the capitol. People who rush the AI the way they play in MP are always going to beat it senseless - but that's what that style of play is geared toward anyway: beating the opponent senseless. I've seen this happen with other games as well, such as Total War, where people complaining about the AI immediately go for the kill, and then wonder why did the kill happen.

I'm not saying there is no room for improvement, and I would be more than happy to see the improvements, but there are other things to take into consideration as well in these discussions.
