You sure you don't mean one of the Death themes, like Ashen Empire? I never see the AI pick Broken Empire. Then again, I've never made the mistake to let the AI play Ermor after the last time...

Lately I've been setting up sp games by designing pretenders for the nations, playing a couple turns to get them decent starting prophets, then setting them to AI. They don't get any bonus but thats more fair and for the most part they do as well as hard/impossible ais because I can design the nations to work around some ai stupidity:
- Give them either pretenders that are immobile or whose death is less wasteful (recuperating/immortal and no/low magic).
- I get to pick decent magic and scales. Although I find that the AI may or may not remember to bless their troops so high blessings arn't always best. I tend to give them great scales and a fortified city.
Of course the AI can still do stupid teleports and empowerments but what can you do? I really hope the devs release the turn and orders file formats in dom3. I'd play more mp but havn't had time. Plus I almost always lose in mp
Oh, so anyways I usually set up Ermor with BE since the other AIs can actually deal with that one.
