We have lot of problems with the strategic AI.

My list about the strat. AI problems:

1. The AI is massing weak troops
2. The AI wont protect his pretender/commanders/priests/mages
3. The AI wont build forts
4. The AI's battlefield tactics could be better
5. The AI is making very odd things. IE. wandering around with his pretender alone etc.
6. The AI won't stay in a province, it is always moving his armies.
7. The AI won't make complex strategic maneuvers. IE. Making a focused attack against a province.
8. The AI won't equip his supercombatants..at least I've never seen that in the demo.

(((((Feel free to add more, please continue with number 9.)))))))

1.Is true, but some nations like Mictlan just don't have heavy troops.
2.As paradoxal this is, i have seen indies protecting their commanders, but AI doesn't seem to protect it's commanders...
3.The forts are pretty expensive though... I haven't built a single fort in the demo... But AI doesn't seem to build them.
4.Yup.
5.Hey, i wander alone with my pretender too... Are you sure the pretender wasn't searching for magic sites? Or can the AI do that?
6.I noticed that too.
7.From multiple directions? Can you give any other examples?
8.The doesn't seem to be equiping commanders at all.

I agree with Aristoteles. These are the {major?) weaknesses of the AI. As I've said in the prev. topic, if these things will be fixed/updated, we won't have problems with the AI.
