You'll need to elaborate with details of evidence. Otherwise you're just spitting out a fish story as I can easily provide details as why my statements are true. As for its death arena strategy... it selects one of its largest sized units which does more damage as it will blindly send its large sized pretenders to a stupid death.
Just because the AI is able to participate with the death arena does NOT make it a strategy!

The AI does create equipment and give it to its commanders. Maybe you could come up with something better (Ive asked for it many times and havent seen it but Im sure someone could). At the moment it appears fairly random, but it is there.

And the AI obviously takes food supply in consideration when it builds armies and sends them out. Ive rarely seen it starve its armies unless its been forced back into it.

Your evidence is that the single-minded AI strategy is easily beaten by human players. Not that it doesnt exist. You are complaining that a 10-line strategy should be a hundred-line strategy.

and wishing for a #startspell is a little bit more likely than wishing for scripted AI but its still not as good an effort as using the AI's abilities better.
I would definitely want scripted AI over the #startspell.

You didnt get my point. The #startspell MIGHT be something we MIGHT see fixed. The AI is awfully unlikely. Sing the song over and over if you want but I will look to fixable areas. There are ways to improve the AI that do not involve waiting on the devs, and I have laid them out often enough.
