Default Re: AI \"cheating\": Permanent omniscienct Scrying??

Not contrary to what we have thought so far.

It's known, and the devs have mentioned it several times, that the AI doesn't suffer from "fog of war" as much as players: It does 'see' ownership of every province on the map.

Secondly, the AI seems to happily fire arrows at indies as well .. sometimes you'll find indy provinces without commmanders, which 100% haven't been attacked before.
