Reading the Dom3 info on Shrapnel's site, this caught my eye:
"An already challenging AI made even more challenging. If you can't handle the unrelenting computer player, you can always try your hand at playing against humans with Dominions 3 robust multiplayer suite."
Sorry if this has been asked, but what exactly does this mean? Will the Dom3 computers be cheating more than the Dom2 ones or has there really been significant change in the level of the AI?

Well, we dont know too much about this yet. We gotta wait and see it in the demo.
So far we know, that the AI will build castles. This one will be a huge improvement. In Doms 2. the AI almost never built any castles, and it recruited lot of weak regular troops because of that.
I dont know about the other AI improvements, hopefully there will be some others as well, like the AI creature summoning strategy, because that wasnt working very well in Doms 2.
The other thing what was a weak part for the AI...the setup of AI armies. Have you noticed that the armies of the AI were totally messed up usually, or that the AI sent out his pretender alone to conquer provinces? Most of the AI players lost their pretenders very soon because of that.
The AI always preferred weak mass troops over SCs or hardcore summoned units.
Hopefully these will be addressed in Doms 3, or in a later patch.
